becomingkate Woo, that time of the month is kicking my butt. Once in a while it gets so bad I have to take a day off from whatever I'm doing. Usually in the early morning. Unfortunately today is that day and that means I'm missing a class. But I'm being responsible and I already emailed the professor. I have a meeting at my son's school this afternoon, but I should feel a little better by then.
Astronomy is also kicking my butt. I just don't grasp the math, mostly. But I'm trying to keep up. This week's class was relatively painful but I still bailed early because we were going to the lab to work on stuff that I could do at home. So I'll probably have to check on that today.
So the school meeting. All kinds of shenanigans are going on this year. Someone is stealing gym clothes, my son is being bullied by someone he was sort of friends with last year and kids are inappropriately using their school laptops. I mean, you give kids laptops and what do you think will happen? But this is like...crazy level inappropriate.
It's a whole new territory because of course we didn't have laptops growing up. We didn't have any portable device with the world at our fingertips. The worst things we had were Discmans and, well, drugs. Ha ha. Can't wait for that to come up.
I was naive in thinking a private school would be any better with these issues. Kids are kids, rich or overprotected or not. Still, I thought fewer kids = better supervision.
Seriously, didn't people learn in kindergarten to keep their damn hands off each other? (This comment is stemming from recent sexual harrassment allegations, but works nicely with the bullying going on at my son's school, too)
