Tominator Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sheesh. My wife and I have no less than abooot 20 pages of forms to complete for our kids who started back to school today. The really aggravating thing is it's the same forms over and over, the only thing that has changed is the kid's age and grade. On top of that, I got the kids to school 15 minutes late today because they apparently changed the start time for the elementaries this year do to fuel costs. They made the change last week and the letter never got to us because they use our street address instead of the P.O. Box number. In spite of all this, the kids seemed to have a good first day.

Guest Andrea Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Re: Forms, Forms, Forms I know what you mean. The day before school starts they have an "orientation". I make a point to sit down in the classroom right then and there and fill out that junk out. That way I don't have to drag it all home with me and worry about forgetting something. Thankfully I just have 2 kids to do this for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion most of those "Doctorate's in Education" ain't worth much more than to blow your nose on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach1 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Re: Forms, Forms, Forms Seriously, a 15 minute earlier starting time is going to make what difference in fuel? You're going to use the same amount if you're driving the same routes 15 minutes earlier. It's baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Re: Forms, Forms, Forms I feel for ya, but I can honestly say You Don't Know Forms Until You Adopt. It took 8 months to complete all the paper work for the first adoption. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 7-8 buses and they were able to handle everyone in the school district at once, so one trip in the morning and one in the evening for each bus. When you've only got 400-450 kids in the district, with a good chunk living within walking distance of the schools, it's possible to do that.

wtnhunt Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Re: Forms, Forms, Forms Yep, we had lots of forms too Chris. Crazy thing is some of them we filled out before we registered the kids and had to fill out again after they started . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I drove a van for a local school district I used to get told to run my route with an empty van just so they would get fuel subsidies from the state. A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS!
