Na začátek roku školního
Byli jsme vyzváni našim blogvedúcim, bychom se vyjátřili k začátku nového školního roku. Co k němu řídi?? Že moje dítě se TEŠÍ do školy (ano, do té soukromé školy pro nadané děti, o níž jsem nevěděla, zda dceru do ní přihlásit či nikoliv tak, jak jsem popsala ve svém loňském článku "V září škola září".) Těší se nikoliv jen na kamarády a učitelky, těší se na učení. Problémy se školstvím však zůstávají - když kvůli ničemu jinému tak pro to, že se vnucuje otázka, co po páté třídě, kdy její škola končí. Osmiletá gymnázia zdaleka nejsou tak ideální, jak se na první pohled jeví a projevuje se i řada dalších otázek. Povzbudivé je, že problémy se školstvím jsou na zeměkouli všude (ejhle, další projev globalizace). O problémech trochu jiného druhu hovoří kráááásný z dalších putovních e-mailů, které mi v poslední době zahltili schránku. Užijte si jej taky
School Answering Machine
The message
Pacific Palisades High School California staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine
This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework.
The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children’s failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their classes.
The actual answering machine message for the school:

If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child's lack of effort: Hang up and have a nice day!
If you want this in Spanish, move to a country that speaks it!
In GOD we Trust
P.S. V naší škole bych vytočila. Kvalita školních obědů je FAKT strašná. A nejen na jedné konkrétní škole - je to všeobecný jev, nad kterým je skutečně nutno se zamyslet. Co si o školním stravování myslíte vy??
