Can you point me to the posts where Coco related that these teachers and principals were giving out the students' exact social security numbers and blood types?
Because if my children's teachers and principal do not seize any opportunity to express outrage over any bullying, I'm going to be a little miffed.
DS is a member of the family and he has a say. Summer is HIS break from school. It is HIS time. He should definitely have input on how it is spent.
I SAH, have one child and am able to let him spend his time pretty much like he wants. It does not disrupt the flow of my stuff or DH's. We spend family time on the weekends and in the evenings, have some obligations and DS gets to play a lot. He and I are interacting throughout the day, some playing, some exercise, meals together. It's not like he has absolute free reign. DS is not ordering me around. He fills his time with meaningful play (to him) and minimal screen time and reads. He willingly comes with on errands. The house is no more messy than it is the rest of the year. I enjoy the quarry time and often meet up with my friends. I don't see how he has too much control.
No, asking a question isn't always asking a question. And I didn't compare your question. I gave an obvious example of a question that isn't just a question. Not even you could deny the implication in my example--that's why I used it.
I don't think she implied anything to bordwithyou. She flat out said she thought bord's son had authority issues.
But now we're back to "it's okay for me to do it if she did it." I don't care if you do it; I just wish you'd stop pretending you're not doing it.
Well, I am off to take DS to his therapeutic horseback riding class. It costs me a pretty penny for the classes, gear, and gas to get there. Horses are not free. Oh, plus the apple we're bringing. I';s an organic apple so that's an extra what 25cents?
Enjoying the board, but wow, you guys post a lot! Heather
"I don't mind churches pushing for more members at all. I DO mind them using children enrolled in VBS to do that work for them; honestly, that clip that I posted was shocking to me."
ITA with you and the VBS that my children went to was not with our own church and I did not feel like they were pushing for more members, once. It's a shame that churches would use children like that :(
"there are public schools where bullying is not an issue
thank you. the character/core value models at my kids' school is a vital part of their philosophy."
My children's school also has character/core value models & they are tres important! But I am also alert and aware to the fact that not every students can and will absorb them and will never bully another child, just because they've been told they should be nice to everyone (and the rest of the character curriculum). I'm a realist.

Hmm...

Then stop denying you implied what you implied.

My reaction was based on her comments that he should have the summer he wants to have, and that she does everything she can to make it that way.
