My daughter has just started the final year of HS and I cannot wait for it to be over. I practically begged her not to go ....hoping that we could be brave enough to do something else..but the pressure was just too great. It's only week 4 and the chimes go off every morning.."I hate school" "I don't want to go to school"...how will I last til June? We need a Wizard of OZ moment, you know, where Toto pulls back the curtain to reveal a mere mortal as the great and powerful oz. In this case, we need to reveal the banality of our education system and the whole university charade..<br /><br />Thanks for writing your piece...I love my child dearly and feel bad that I couldn't save her from high school..Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844167015224368882.post-51572128985119348232018-04-15T04:24:00.889-07:002018-04-15T04:24:00.889-07:00Gender neutral.

(My experience of school the second time around, as a parent, was in many ways worse than the first time--and that was pretty bad!) I look forward to hearing your thoughts next year when you're finally "emancipated." :) In the meantime, hang in there...StepfordTOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340282997915000608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844167015224368882.post-56952794909623763822018-03-16T07:37:15.349-07:002018-03-16T07:37:15.349-07:00Excellent.
