Yeah, just in the context of one year, I honestly do not know that my son did anything other than eat brownies and bring piles of stuff home in the last couple weeks. After the Va. SOL testing is over it seems like there is nothing left to do anyway so why keep them in? I can not imagine it going LONGER.

Ds8 burst into our room this morning earlier than he ever gets up just psyched about being OUT. It is a weight and a burden. And this is even with a pretty cool teacher and at a decent school.

Kcab, thinking about the 'negative self thoughts' that go on in ds' head all year, it would be soooo nice to be in a situation which afforded him having better feelings about himself. frown
