This school system is a joke. They even have pop machines all over the place. He was very excited a few weeks ago and wanted to go to his first school dance. I tried to explain what school dances were like but I knew still in his head he was thinking more like Christmas or birthday party. He expected to have music, dancing, games, prizes and food. Well he quickly found out that all they do is divide up for the most part by sex and stare at each other. When we had these little events the school would at least have puch and cookies. At his dance they charged the kids $3 and gave them a box of pop corn. After the kids ate that and were thirsty they had to go to the pop machines just to get something to drink. Nice planning on the schools part. We have been fighting with the school board out here forever. Their policy is to just wear everyone down.
