Going to war with the school's car dropoff

Airtag is a great idea.

My granddaughter was born 8/1. I think she's always been the youngest.

Most kids usually do well. Your kids will, too. Helps to have smart and caring parents...That makes all the difference.

In my particular school district when I started kindergarten, I was the youngest allowed to the day. You had to be 5 to go, and my 5th birthday was the first day of school, September 10, 1973.

I’ve since checked and that was the Monday after Labor Day. It seems they waited to start on a full week.

Get off my lawn.

Makes sense though, I was entering grade 0 and you were entering grade 13. I’m 54 (55 Sunday). You’re what, 67?

What should I do, though?

Let me introduce you to homeschooling…

Seriously… No matter where you are at in the whole culture war issues, the simple fact is that teachers and school counselors feel they are more qualified and capable to make decisions regarding your child’s mental, emotional, and physical health than you are. And will make decisions without consulting you that can and will have tremendous consequences on your family.

Yeah I get that but is that kid actually going to show up at school, where, y'know, they're at this point legally obligated to teach him, or what?

I’m not really sure I get your question… It is happy hour, but…

They completely dropped the ball getting that other kid into school, and then just let the grandmother drive away with him. Like, okay, no school for you today I guess. Or ever because we're sure as shit not going to help you.
