Will I get to stitch today???
Yesterday was all kinds of madness and I haven't had a chance to pick up a
needle since Sunday. But the house work needs doing and the garden is calling too..... But we are 80% ready for back to school and the rink. I just need to figure out DD's birthday plans and I can relax (sort of). I do know which Webkinz she wants and where she wants her party (rock climbing). Dad will deal with the guitar part... (sigh) Cheryl |

(sigh) Cheryl I wish I could be there to act like your wife and do some of the scut work for you, but I can't even get my car out of the garage. All the corners are flooded here and instead of going down, the water looks like it's going up a little. It doesn't look like it will reach my house, but it's a mess out there. Lucille |

Ours starts tomorrow (earlier and earlier). I wish I could say we're
100% ready but the kids have hit the "I don't know what I need until I get to class" stage. And by the time the teacher makes the decision, the stuff is off sale (sigh). At least DD doesn't have practice until Tuesday. That only leaves DS with baseball practice. Have fun with the birthday party! Linda |

And by the time the teacher makes the decision, the stuff is off sale (sigh). They used to do that to us, too. First day of school was always marked by an afternoon trip to the store -- some teachers wanted bound black-marble composition books, others wanted spiral notebooks or looseleaf, and they wanted them by tomorrow morning. Mom always muttered "what about the working mothers who can't do this?" (I assume they bought one of each in advance and returned the unneeded ones.) Around here, the teachers submit their lists to Admin, Admin transmits them to the stores. Walk into OfficeMax (and I'm assuming the other office supply stores, too), and there's a carousel with photocopies of dozens of school shopping lists: you grab the one for your school and your grade, and it lists all the teachers' preferences, so you just have to know if your kid has Mrs. Smith or Mrs. Jones. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com Finished 7/27/08 - MLI Christmas Visit WIP: Oriental Kimono (Janlynn), MLI The Teacher (gift to the library), Bethany Angel (Marbek) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel, MLI Farmers Market CFSfacts -- where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf Newest research blog: http://journals.aol.com/kmc528/Lifeasweknowit/ |

They have those lists here for elementary school and middle school. JHS and up, it's wait until you get to class. Many of the grade schools here discourage/forbid "special" notebooks and folders and specifically say "4 plain pocket red folders" for much the reason you cite - everything is thrown into a pool and used by all. I agree teachers shouldn't have to spend out of their own pockets, but sometimes some of the stuff is a bit ridiculous - one year we were expected to provide two bottles of hand sanitizer. What happened to soap and water? Linda |
