Kind words are certainly helpful.<BR/><BR/>Gunfighter - the new school is a super-great, granola, tree-hugging, liberal mountain school. We moved into the district last year but didn't move the kids over until this year. So they are just adjusting to the ways of this school. Twice as big as their former mountain school at 220 kids. The old school was TINY at 90 students.<BR/><BR/>The trimester is not new, however. The old school did trimesters with "goal-setting" conferences at the beginning of the second trimester and "goal-tracking" conferences in the middle of the third. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's a more manageable chunk of time. Who knows? <BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's all good. We're liking it, no matter what they think about me!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623940361282132415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814399856996790860.post-14595047672913883442007-11-28T12:41:00.000-08:002007-11-28T12:41:00.000-08:00Awesome job, to both of your kids (whose names I L...Awesome job, to both of your kids (whose names I LOVE).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814399856996790860.post-7823967666587056762007-11-28T08:17:00.000-08:002007-11-28T08:17:00.000-08:00Good choice Mom!

They know I just want them to try their hardest, and THEY know when that B was because they didn't. It's tougher on them sometimes than it is on me.Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070433904661239686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6814399856996790860.post-28586223792614435142007-11-27T06:09:00.000-08:002007-11-27T06:09:00.000-08:00Good for you!!!
