Just a thought...when i was in school, we would get sent home/detention for inappropriate dress. Why hasn't this happened as of late. Obviously, noone gave a crap.

Morbidcherub....we can go to the BOE all we want, about anything, and they don't care.

I just had to laugh when i read at the top of these comments when tll3203 called me a "high and mighty austintowner". That's some funny stuff right there.
school's starting early. it's stupid because of the days they are getting off right away, but i'll deal with it.

dress code: all i have to say is that the cheerleaders shouldn't be able to wear their little outfits on gamedays, and the "no tees" is petty.

but apparently i'm too high and mighty because i dress my elementary kids in tees in the warm weather and hoodies when it's cold because their classrooms are cold. Oh, and they wear t-shirts underneath.

That's just freaking nasty.

aeparish, at boardman, they "beat us to death" (as you put it) over this test. I understand the the cirriculum in schools are a lot more involved than in the past. Again, i don't see an issue with my child having to take this test, after learning everything that is in it. It does require time and effort, but isn't that what school is about?

Aeparish (again) i should also mention (because it was mentioned before in a comment), that i had a personal life, worked 30 hours a week, and i sat through the test, which was a few days out of the week, and i lived. I'm well aware that they are stressful, but come on....

Aeparish....funny you should say that. In conferences yesterday, i asked my sons 3rd grade teacher what happened to the Proficiency Test that I took in high school. I was informed that it is the same test. Soooo, aeparish, i did take it. I even had to pass it to graduate.

anything else you would like to say?

Metz, the test, i dont think, is really an issue. I think these kids should be able to handle the test. And I feel that it's good to know exactly what the kids are learning, and if it's enough.
