why why why

does it feel like my children who are outgoing,  zealous and intelligent are thumbed down by people who need a lot of order and quiet?

I often felt as a child unliked by my teachers.   I tried hard to show them I was smart and funny.  I was enthused by life and class.  Rarely did I find a teacher who appreciated my passion, embraced it and encouraged it. It seemed that 95% of the people "above"me don't enjoy my fervor.

I see this happening with my own children now.  Or is it I am sensitive to it so I see it more?

Why can't I conform? Why can't I be quiet? Its just who I am.

My kids its seems have the same lovely passion for life and learning.

Why must others squash this Is it because they do not feel listend to or honored when a child is moving around and speaking her mind?

My children are kind, caring and compassionate. They do not steal from other kids, they do not hit, they do not cuss...they are good kids.  They have a spice in them and it bothers certain personality types I fear and those personality types are often teachers.

hmmmmmmm

It could be me.

Summer

Honestly 12 weeks? Who is letting this go on?

I mean since when were the kids working the farm and needing the planting or harvesting months off? Is that even why we used to have kids home from June through August?  Does anyone know for sure why those 12 weeks started out?

I made it all the way to week 9 until I broke.

I hit an emotional wall.

By week 10 I was cagey. There was some pleasure back by week 11 due to the anticipation of school returning.

WTF

And dont get me started about school days. I want my child in SCHOOL from 8:30am - 3:30 m and I want them to have a 45 minutes lunch and several 15 min recesses. WHY is my fucking 17 yr old, 10 yr old and 6yr old going school before 8am? WHY are they getting off at 2pm when the rest of San Diego (who mostly is dual income because its so damn expensive to live here) is working until A LEaST 5pm?

WHY is after school care and summer camps so damn much $$?

more to come
