Middle School Dilemma Part II

[Running Mommy]

Missed what was obviously another thread, but so glad your son is happy in the new school. In the proper environment kids will thrive, and LEARN!

As for the chat on the ride home. I experience that everyday as the bike bus driver. Not only do I get to chat with my son about his day, but the other kids as well. Sometimes I wonder if I know more about the kids days than their parents do...

It's also nice being able to see them off in the morning and remind them all to "make the right choices"...

Anyway, good on you for seeing that there is a better way!

Rm, you might be the best thing the other kids see all day, maybe the other parents don't have chats w/ them, you're still a positive force in their lives. Kudos to you. Jenn
