No chance of being able to document?

You’re making arguments about things you clearly don’t understand.

Teacher’s run student clubs. Teachers stay after to help students. They answer emails after hours, do class planning after hours, grade after hours.

These are all things for which footprints exist in great numbers

Weird how your criteria works.

Well seems like depending on a kid it can be either punishment or blessing.

"Punished" is a stretch.

That makes sense, yeah maybe one more year of chill life won’t hurt!

Cool

Thanks! I contacted one.

Being one of the youngest in my grade always kinda sucked for me. My son was a November kid so he's on the older side in his grade and I think it's been so beneficial, especially now that he's in middle school. I know the cost is tough, though.

I know you’re talking about preK/4 year old but think about subsequent years too. We did the opposite, our son was a few days from the cut off and should have gone to K this year but we kept him back to mature more. For him if was definitely the right move so - the only reason I can think of to push it on the other side is if you can’t easily afford another year of care before public school (and that’s a completely valid and legitimate concern).

But K is hard now, it’s real work, hardly any play. I had to put my money where my mouth was but I wanted to give our little guy another year of being a little kid before he goes into the meat grinder.

So think about your kid’s level of social/emotional/academic maturity. If he excels in all, talk to the school district. Otherwise I’d embrace having another year of fun school before things get real.

I'm not a U.S. citizen. Before I do the six courses they require, do you know if I'm eligible? I see no indication that I am not eligible on the IRS website, but that doesn't really mean much.

I mean you’ve also got Mt Greylock to choose as well. Possibly the best viewpoint in the state. In my opinion, granted I grew up in the shadow of it haha.

I usually go for at least a week every summer since 2004. We call it bromance week because it's all dudes. I always book on December 31st right after midnight

Section 9A;

“1) Service as a Condition of Employment

“Conditions of employment are defined as “not only those duties specifically mentioned in an existing or recently expired collective bargaining agreement (or personnel policies in effect for more than one year), but also those practices not unique to individual employees which are intrinsic to the position or which have been performed by employees as a group on a consistent basis over a sustained period of time.”[657] “

He will need to be 5 to enter public K. You might have to do 2 years of Catholic preK and then switch to public K. I agree with the others that keeping him back (even if you could get a waiver, which you probably won't be able to get) is the right thing. Boys tend to struggle with self-control and executive function even when they make the cutoff age, being even younger would almost certainly not work out.

I see yeah maybe I am rethinking this now !

It’s not “tacitly illegal,” in fact once teachers have accepting doing something outside their contract, it’s illegal for them to stop doing it.

I see, maybe you are right! Thank you for your opinion.

Unusual if changing agencies - in the same agency yes, but changing state agencies all together is usually considered starting a new job

Camped there this summer, made our reservations and then my GF found the article ha

“That’s them volunteering their time,” no it’s not.
