So I got a message from my mom saying Cadence wants to be home for 4th of July. Ok fine. I'll pick her up the 2nd.
Then I just felt off about it. It seemed weird, so I said should I come sooner? Mom replies "Probably. She is tired of me." Then any question after that the responses were just "yes". Idk what happened, but I'll give her a call tonight to see whats going on. Then go this weekend to pick her up.

I'm sorry klong11. I wonder if she's just tired. My mom wants to think she can still do what she used to, but the kids just make her so tired. I can't imagine her watching the boys for a full night, let alone a few weeks!!

So I got a response from the director and it was exactly what I expected. All kids will be challenged, etc. I'm still super annoyed.

Yeah a class large enough for 4 teachers is crazy. If that’s the case she should keep the transitional class and ask some of the parents of the older 4’s if they would be comfortable with the older kids class to see if that would work out. I believe they usually have 3 teachers per class there b/c of the F/T hours, to cover the whole day. There are 20 kids listed in the new class. As far as I can tell, there were between 8-10 kids supposed to be in the older 4s. There are 10-12 regular 4s. So they could easily split it to 2 classes of 10ish each with 2 teachers. But I am guessing it wasn't financially worth it to them. I emailed them almost 4 hours ago and haven't heard back which is annoying the crap out of me. I mean, I know they are just gonna feed me the bullshit that they'll work with each kid, etc. but still, I want a response! Ok- so if there were 2 classes; that would be a total of 8 teachers. They could still do the 2 classes and maybe just combine them in the afternoon after nap so the older kids aren’t getting the short end of the stick.

That is weird. klong11 Hope it’s nothing serious. Maybe her energy levels are down after recovering from this round of pneumonia.

Yes, I told her not to overexert herself and that if she gets too exhausted to let me know and I can come get her. It just seems odd because the messages are so vague.

jewels that stinks. You would think if they are paying the same amount of teachers, they would keep the classes smaller with room to add more kids as the year goes on. Last I heard from my friend who is director of the school C will go to in the fall, there were only 4 kids signed up for his class but they were hopeful more will join as the pandemic improves and more adults head back to work in person.

Got the truth out of her. She is in fact feeling sick again. Started yesterday. So now, I'm going after work to pick her up. Really not looking forward to that drive, but apparently Cadence won't let my mom rest and I don't want my mom getting sicker.

School is over! DD was supposed to have a clap out at dismissal then at 8:45 we got a text that they were doing it at 9:30 because it was going to rain at dismissal. I had to quickly figure things out at work, run over to her school, then run back. Tonight my family is coming over. It’s raining now but will hopefully clear up soon.

That’s ridiculous jewels! It’s not like they didn’t know a couple of weeks ago that there weren’t enough kids. All she had to do was say “if there are enough kids”. How hard is that! I’m sorry your mom feels bad. I hope she feels better soon klong11.

Another day at the office. I am so so tired! I did actually get some stuff done, which is better than last week. I’m glad to hear camp is going well tallb. C is going to a new camp on Monday and it’s big and very different than what he usually goes to. He’s nervous since he won’t know anyone and I am too. I’m sure I’ll be a mess on Monday.

You should encourage her to get a chest X-ray when you all leave just to see if the pneumonia is back.

Hope he likes it! I feel like C is pretty social and will have fun! We were just discussing that we don't know if he likes it... He says he does and wants to stay later, but then has all these anecdotes that sound like he's being picked on, being a sore loser/cry baby, etc. It sounds like he's the only 2nd grader and the rest are rising 3rd in his group. Next week he does regular day camp at the same spot but it's 1/2 combined. We have some socializing to do though since he's been home for so long, but still hurts to hear and I don't like not knowing who to reach out to since it's a big camp. Gah.

After the outlet I was feeling my annoyance rising- not for any reason, but I think I was just ready for some peace and quiet. Everyone else went to the beach and I stayed in the house for some alone time. It was glorious. I caught up on some trash TV and snacked on not so healthy food.

I'm sorry your mom isnt feeling well, @klongoria. Will she want to come back to your house? jewels, that is ridiculous. Do you know how many kids are in the same position as B? Maybe if all of those parents wrote they'd change the grouping?

Maybe if all of those parents wrote they'd change the grouping? There are 4 kids in B's current class that are summer birthdays that are holding their kids back. I believe there are 4 kids that are OCtober/November birthdays that missed the cutoff that were supposed to be in that class. It's a big national center (YMCA) and so I don't think they really have the ability to make that choice. From what she said it really seemed to come down to numbers
