As promised, he are the new babies. Stupid Verizon data is not working. Wonder if they capped my free data since I never use WiFi.

I pulled my son out of his last school and he is thriving now.

Some smart kids aren't motivated by school. I am sad to admit that I was like that as a teenager, too. Apples don't fall far from the tree!

It's amazing how many kids really don't get read to, but they really do enjoy it. Your daughter could get some books she likes and just take with her for bedtime story time. I got most of my books from the Scholatic book sales/ fairs. They're really cheap through there.

I don't have young kids any more and I still get excited when the sign goes up about the book fair at my local elementary school. Since the school gets part of the proceeds, I wonder if they'd let me in?!

Absolutely!!!

My son started acting up at his previous school. Saying smart remarks to the teacher to make the other kids laugh, following other kids bad behaviors. When I told the lunchroom lady we were leaving, she cried. She said he was so polite, helpful, kind and she noticed he had been sitting by himself at lunch for a while. Which I didn’t know!!! He only had 2 friends out of 90. He was bored, he couldn’t relate to the other kids. He is an only child, always been treated and talked to more like an adult. He is no genius, but very smart.

Beautiful babies!!

I had problems when I was younger. A combination of teachers who shouldn't have been teachers & not 'getting' things. I actually had a couple teachers tell my mother that my brother and I (in the same grade) were retarded and shouldn't be in school (at least that was my mom's story, I don't remember it). Then I went to a vocational school for electronics and everything just clicked. I know several people who were terrible defiant students who were labeled as problem kids who went to the voc school and did great. It's amazing what happens when you really like what you're doing and are actually learning something.

You could probably call the school and find out. Ours is open in the evening during conference nights so parents can stop by with or w/o their kids. I can't see why they wouldn't let you in, though I guess some larger school districts might not for safety reasons, but it's not an issue that I've heard of here. I know our has cookbooks, encyclopedias, and other things that a kid probably wouldn't normally buy, but an adult would. Here they don't sell the last copy & will order it, so I think the only time it'd be an issue but I don't see why they couldn't just give you a call.

Pulled one of my kids (also a boy) out of several schools, lol, till we finally found the right fit.

I hate that 3 of the special order $$$ Brahmas are big ole turds! 1 Silkie is too! I separated those 4 for a while this morning and what a difference it made.

Such cute little ones @Sassysouth.

I think you are right about that little marshmallow being a boy.
That Crele Orpington sure is cute!

My Brahma were turds too until they were about 15 weeks old then they mellowed a ton. Now they are low to mid level ranking and super sweet.
Sandy waits in the coop every morning for the wet mash. Then the dark Brahma and the light come back in. They eat very peacefully even after the rowdy BSL start shoving everyone around.

Have patience they will come around.

Well, all. I'm logging out for most of the weekend. I have a bunch of traveling and visiting to do and I HATE the iPhone app for this wonderful forum. So, I doubt I'll be on a bunch. Hoping to see some advancements on the squatch situation over the weekend. I'll miss you all.
