Yeah, and then they'll change it after two years. What tangled webs they weave. I wish they would just go back to the old Models of high school. They seemed to work just fine.
.

The description of combined math classes reminded me of another downside of the new models. When DD was in school, they came up with fancy names for all the basic high school classes - to show they were progressive or something. Freshman english was called "Gateways" a combination of history and science was called "Connections" and so it went. We laughed about it at the time. But it wasn't so funny when her class graduated and went to college and found out that every single student was denied NCAA eligibility and could not practice for fall sports. Seems that in the review process, NCAA did not recognize the funny names and coded each student as not having enough english, science, or math. The school had not even put translations on the transcripts! So after a week or so of nervous kids, mad parents, and worried coaches, it got taken care of. But it was not a simple process and it was not fun.

Soapbox - make room.

I so remember that, and help DN last year with her's. 13 year olds should not have to pick the next 4-8 years of their life at that age!

You are right about that. It would be great to do away with Jr High/Middle Schools and just go back to grades K-8 and 9-12, smaller, neighborhood oriented schools. Do away with school busses as much as possible. Put that money back into classrooms. YEAH! LOL. Vote for me.

I have spent hours trying to find the ****** who has been saying not nice things about Lisa, but can't post here anymore. I want to give him a piece of my mind, but Lisa is too nice to tell me where he is.

What happened?

Lisa, Todd, Kristina, Mike and Caroline. I am sorry about the post. It was an accident! Really!

Slightly better but I just have to be so careful how I move which is really getting old fast. I can't raise my left arm above my elbow, I can't cough (well I can but boy does it HURT), etc.. I am still taking plenty of meds but I am trying to get down to 1 Tylenol 3 every four hours instead of 2 every 4 hours.

37 to go to the

 

[Jhalkias]

I was going to say that to Lisa's post too, but I thought that I was being to pushy.

I think I have already done that too many times to Lisa, and do not want her to feel any worse . . .

 

[becka]

36 to go....

We should probably watch out for those August people who might try to exact some revenge.

 

[becka]

Well John1 snuck in so now it is 34...

And who wants to explain what is really happening with Lisa?

 

[Jhalkias]

Do you think they really drink that much or are they just thinking of things to talk about. They are going to scare away those other two families from Utah.

Who knows?

I've found that people talk more than they actually do. I told Amy I could go the whole 15 days without even a glass of wine and it would be no problem for me. That's about all I had this last time was maybe one glass or one beer at dinner. I feel like a real wimp.

Did not even have one "drink of the day"

 

[slindamood]

Revenge? They are running too fast with the loot .

 

[dh chrisva]

I looked and Looked but couldn't find it. I'm not "close" to LIsa so even if I ask She won't tell me. Like i said earlier with all the side chattering over there who knows what went on.

They actually almost had a fight 20 minutes ago between those that are there and the previous Repo gang about the name of the cruise...
