Summer Fun

For my week of freedom I've:
  • planted some vegis
  • mowed the lawn
  • drove to Tacoma for a doctor's appointment
  • took the baby to her first dental appointment (teeth [8] are great!)
  • shopped at Wa**art, bought the baby new sandals and a huge can of thickening powder
  • played in the pool with the baby
  • looked a floor tile and countertops - no decisions
  • decided the previous paint colors were not what I wanted; looked at new paint colors - no decisions (do you see a theme on this?)

What shall we do this afternoon? Perhaps go to the park...

The other day I was reading a post by a blogger I’ve been following for several years. Before there was such a thing as “blogging.” We all know spring is IEP review season. This blogger wrote about his daughter’s. Among the various elements, there was the discussion about the state assessment tests. She did not pass. There was discussion about what this means… and why said student needed to pass this test. Would she be taking a modified test? While reading, all I could think about was what would happen to that child as she entered middle school and high school. A history of not passing the assessment test vs. teachers who will now be evaluated on how many students pass t...
