School Days

Ever since I got my new job back in November, I've been promising the kids that I'd eat lunch with them since my job will be more "flexible." Well, it hasn't happened yet! So this week that's what I did. And since it's the last week of school, so I hit them both! Caleb on Tuesday and Alisia on Wednesday. It was a lot of fun seeing how they interact with their classmates and teachers.


I am so thankful for a solid education and sacrificing teachers!

This is interresting and kindof scarey! Compare the leading school discipline problems (Time Magazine, Febuary 1988) I wonder what it would look like for 2000.
