dumb school

Never mind the previous blog post about how I think this year is going to be better..

We are now 1 week 1 day into the official school year and I'm about 1/2 a breath away from emailing them or driving my angry butt down there to "discuss" my issues.

I guess it boils down to limited resources going to a select few.
The same select few for everything.

Cept they don't let you know up front that it's only going to go to an elite few- they tell you about all the wonderful opportunities your child will have at said school.
And then deny your children any chance to participate in any of them.

Even in stuff they say is designed for the ones that don't have a chance to participate in any of the other stuff..nope. sorry. try again next time. But don't worry- we won't tell you where/when to sign up until it's already filled up.

Mama bear lion here is pretty peeved.

So here I write it out before I start spouting off to them. So it will either make me feel better to get it off my chest, or it will give me practice for what I am going to say to them.

As soon as I figure out which of the "them" I should go ask for by name..

edit-
too late.
email sent as soon as I figured out which "them" to start with.

I think I smell flames on that bridge

edit again-
"Gina I’ve forwarded your email to the appropriate staff. They’ll get back to you."
great. I'll be waiting.

Last time I edit this, I promise-
(paraphrased)
'This is a new program we are starting up and for the first session, we thought we would have a brainstorming session with various moms who responded to our survey and due to the content, we thought an intimate setting would be appropriate'

Gee, thanks-
Thanks for the less than 24 hour cancellation notice.
Thanks for including us.
and most of all-
Thanks for being such a great school.

OK REALLY last time here-
From now on, I'll go by the name "don quixote"
Found another windmill to charge, and with an enabling husband... I am right on schedule to turn into my dad.
