Whoa horsie... are you in an alternative school? Or are the schools just really little where you are?
I think I have missed this tidbit over time.

We find out tonight what class the boy is in. They start monday, so they post it tonight.

It's a charter elementary school with a multi-age satellite school right next door, Ponine. Enrollment in the multi-age department is optional and most parents choose the traditional campus. And since it's a charter school, we are able to keep our children (now only Todd) enrolled there no matter where we live. Our retiring teacher is the co-founder of the multi-age department (the other founder died in a bike accident last August).

Basically the multi-age program works like this: Todd's class last year was 2nd and 3rd graders. Everyone works at their own pace and the advanced students are free to work ahead. For example, a 2nd grade student who excels in math can work with the third-graders during math time.

Todd had the choice this summer to either a) stay with the same teacher he's had for two years, b) go with a new teacher, c) go to a school in his home district - Elk Grove Unified. Todd chose a and ended up with b.

Did you go to a concert? I always wear earplugs.

Stan4dSteph~ Are YOU going to the U2/Pearl Jam show in Honolulu??? Ooo, we had toyed with the idea...

Yes, I have learned the benefit of wearing earplugs. Unfortunately maybe a tad bit late.

But, I think even as you are wearing them, you can hear more clearly.

Okay, I'm with you now.
I have a couple of those types of charters on my payroll.
Thank you for the clarification.
I have no doubt he will be great and adjust very well.

U2.... hmmm.... I seem to remember having a platinum award somewhere in my parents' basement... ebay, perhaps?

Seriously, have a great time. I'll bet it'll be a great show.
