Thursday...

This morning I ahve to take Abigail into school for a speech test (groooooan like she has issues....I swear if she picks up on something I will go nuts because Abigail does NOT have speech issues....why do they obsess over speech over here?????)

Anyway we will go and meet the teacher...I hate the way she speaks to parents as though they are stupid....I really don't like this teacher at all.......but the kids seem to like her so I guess I will give her the benefit of the doubt.....

Thats one of the things I hate about school.....the way the teachers talk to you as though yu know nothing and they know everything about your child - she's never even met Abigail

Oh and at the parents evening she said please please PLEASE do not teach your child to write...

yet all the kids in preschool are expected to write....and no they are not TAUGHT to write...they are just taught to trace the letters....

This is something I plan to change as I really don't think the children 'learned' anything this past year...I think they were just doing what they had learned at home.....I don't think preschool really taught anything at all....

And what was I supposed to say to Abby when she WANTED to write...when she was at the table with her siblings? NO??????? duh! So yes I have to go into school and smile and pretend to be the good Christian Mother and pretend that I think school is the best thing since sliced bread....when really I don't think its the best thing at all......sigh......

What else? Oh I collected the package from my new boss......I have all the forms to send off.....don't have to pay for any of that as its all paid for me....as is my first aid training which is wonderful :) and basically there is no rush for any of it so thats good......my assist already has her training and due to my nursing I know mine - just don't have the cert. so I'm not too worried...........and neither is my boss so thats good :)

Lloyd went out with work last night for a goodbye dinner for Stewy and Dave......I think he will really miss working with them.....I'm sure we'll still see Dave and Tracy but Stewart is moving to Vancouver so we won't see him...
