Renai Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 That's adorable. I would be imagining that she was dreaming about doing math and still in a sleep fog. But, but, we haven't done anything with fractions. UNLESS, she's been doing math behind my back. The nerve! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 ahh, just found it. So, I guess I'll type up a letter and send it off. ETA: Lovely, there are conflicting statements on the website. Gotta love Missouri. :huh: Hmm, since you started the registration and they know she exists, I'd probably just send in the intent form. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love Missouri. :huh: I don't see anything about what age compulsory education begins. I absolutely would not send a notice of intent in for K unless I have to. I think most states require kids to begin by the school year that they would enter as 6yr olds or 1st grade. Sometimes filing the letter of intent obligates you to do things or puts you under regulations that you can't escape from easily if you change your mind.

Paige Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 DDs teacher sent me a note and said she's going to move them apart and will talk to the other kid. She's taking it more seriously than I expected. I hope DD doesn't get upset and that the boy doesn't get in too much trouble. I only wanted one of them to be moved to another seat. Since I was not there, I don't really know the whole story and this is the first time she's complained about this boy. DD usually gets along with everyone. School is hard! Homeschool is hard! It doesn't matter what you choose, neither is an easier path. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes filing the letter of intent obligates you to do things or puts you under regulations that you can't escape from easily if you change your mind. Missouri compulsory age is 7. Missouri doesn't regulate homeschooling. It's pretty easy to homeschool here. They "require" you to do portfolios, but never check them unless there's a complaint filed with DHS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not sure. Since they have birth certificate and social on file, I think I should probably go ahead and just do the letter.

Susan in TN Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Educational Post! Reported! My kids were surprisingly enthusiastic about the short creative writing assignment. They had to write (in cursive) anywhere from 3 sentences (dd8) to 3 paragraphs (dd14). They could choose any one of about 40 writing prompts. Ds12 went into a bit of a distressed panic until I told him the prompt that said "Today for lunch..." *could* be his description of what he wished he could make for lunch, and he jumped into that with gusto (Italian sub sandwich). :D 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what you choose, neither is an easier path. The boy might (maybe) be trying to get her (DD's) undivided attention. If the teacher moves both kids she can't be seen as playing favorites -- a real problem with some parents, even if it's not true. I'm glad the teacher is taking this seriously. Smaller occurrences can build into bigger ones later on if left unchecked, and then parents start asking why something wasn't done sooner. Kids go through awkward phases, and this boy might or might not be going through one. By talking with him she can get a feel for what's going on with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
