It's the most wonderful time of the yearFollow

Or in other words, it's evaluation time for schools. Yup, I got that little green piece of paper in my sons backpack yesterday, asking how they did this year. It covered anything from school trips, to supplies, communication between teachers and parents (WHAT communication???) and overall, my satisfaction of the school. For those who remember the issue my son went through in the beginning of the year, and the lack of help from the teacher, you can rest assured I had fun making that very very clear.

That felt good

Nobby would know.

And just think, your comment card will be entered into a giant computer and averaged out among thousands of other cards throughout the years only to result in the teachers striking for more money.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I got one of those a couple of weeks ago. But my kids' school did it on a Scantron and I had to fill in the bubble (I kid you not). I emailed the principal and let him know their method of evaluation was unsatisfactory. But my kids' school is overall a top school for this area. Small class sizes, a computer for every student, before and after school tutoring programs and other programs geared to other needs. Their school is the only thing I'm going to miss when we leave this area.

Well, that and the free housing and utilities we've enjoyed for the last 9 years.
