Prison or Public School?

[Kaneman]

Sometimes, like now, you just don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The school year is coming to a close and thus my son is ending his career as a Kindergartner. Thus far, I've been displeased by the way the school district handles....well....pretty much everything.

From their measly 15 minute recesses (gee, I can't figure out why all the kids are so hyper, they must have ADHD, someone call Pfizer!) to their mandatory SILENT lunches (also 15 min.) and their severe punishments for minor infractions of ludicrous rules (What's that boy, you talking to a friend on your lunch break? Well, say goodbye to Field Day motherfucker) well, the whole thing just seems wrong.

Now, with two weeks left to go we get a notice from the district regarding the dress code. A friendly reminder that mohawks are not allowed and an addendum that states all SPIKED HAIR will not be allowed and children will be sent home. Wow, I mean, I had spiked hair while working in a corporate office. Unreal.

I know we just had a big discussion on home schooling vs. public schooling and the purposes of socialization and so forth but I gotta say....home school is looking better and better all the time.
