Are you referring to the FL case of the K teacher that had the class vote for the boy not to return? If so, there is no Tenure in FL. She needs to be fired. Its amazing that teachers get away with stuff like that-the boy has had tons of support from the Autistic society, and the mom was on my local news stating that she was very relieved after all of the negativity of the school that he endured, that she has so many positive supporters for her son.

I too was inspired and plan on incorporating it into next years lesson plans. Please let us know how it went, and I hope that you had a wonderful experience and made beautiful memories that your family will cherish. :) Kimmi

Im planning on starting K this fall and I am going to be doing option 1. Like Jessica and some others stated, I want to choose my own books to read versus having to follow a curriculum in something like FIAR. If you are more into structure, then FIAR would be great for you. I like structure, but when I looked at the FIAR books, I didnt jump up and down with excitement. That is one reason why I am implementing option 1 with my own child. Also, I believe that option 1 will offer more creativity options in the end. Good luck with your decision, and just know that whatever you choose, it will work. :) Kimmi
