skymama 37 #2 July 28, 2006 Have they done their summer reading assignments yet? That's always a good place to start! I just went to school orientation this morning. School starts on Monday and we're not even in a year-round school system!

skymama 37 #4 July 28, 2006 Check the school's website to see if there is an assignment. My kids go to 2 different high schools and they both had books to read. I'd be surprised if your son didn't have some kind of reading assignment.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was once a teenage boy and since we didn't have videogame systems at home... when I wasn't @ some sort of summer camp or other trip (which was almost continous throughout summer...) we could be found 30-40 feet up in the sugar maple trees or 10-15 feet up in Apple Trees... (honestly Its amazing I didn't break more then a couple of bones growing up... ) I also would go biking as a teenager... my parents lived in rural area and the roads weren't too busy/we could really bike long distances...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

MF42 0 #11 July 28, 2006 I don't remember ever getting a summer reading assignment. Not once. My teenage summers were largely occupied by cruising around town with buddies on our bikes, building model planes and spaceships, reading a novel about every two to three days, and improvising small explosives. I really can't recommend the explosives. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #15 July 28, 2006 QuoteGraduated in 73. Never ever had a summer reading assignment. And we had the entire summer off; Memorial Day to Labor Day. I never had the assignment either. Florida schools are all about their FCAT state standardized test and schools getting A grades so they can get more funds. That's the reason they are going to school so early in the year, so they can get more teaching in before the test in the spring. A law just got passed though that the schools can't start sooner than 2 weeks before Labor Day. The kids in our county also get a Fall break in October which I think is totally ridiculous!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
