Taking your kids out of school to go on vacation can be controversial in some circles. A lot of people think there is plenty of time during the summer, Winter Break, and Spring Break to travel with your kids, so parents shouldn’t take them out of school for a vacation. My public school district made …

Stay-at-home dad refuses to homeschool his 6-year-old daughter because she’s failing 1st grade math, despite his wife’s insistence: ‘I want her to have a “normal” childhood’
Homeschooling is one of those things that you can’t do halfway. If one parent really wants to do it and the other does not, it will be challenging to make it happen. Homeschooling requires both parents to be working full-time, with one parent supporting the family financially and the other planning and facilitating their children’s …

Stepmom refuses to pay for her 10-year-old stepson’s private school, dad and mom get angry despite saving $0 towards his education: ‘He has 2 parents and I can’t understand why it’s all up to me to save’
Nobody is entitled to attend a fancy private school, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on their life prospects. Life is truly not fair, and if we actually lived in a meritocracy, the smartest kids would attend the best high schools instead of merely settling for the best colleges. Whether a kid attends a …

Mom refuses to pick up her ex-husband’s 8-year-old affair baby from school while picking up her 8-year-old son: ‘My ex’s daughter was there until 7 because I refused to pick her up’
A lot of divorced parents don’t want anything to do with their exes’ «other family,» and I don’t begrudge them for that. If the divorce was amicable and a parent is involved in their children’s half-siblings’ or step-siblings’ lives, that’s all well and good. As long as they can do that without resenting the kids …

Homeschooling stepmom pressures mom into homeschooling her 8 and 9-year-old children, claims her 4 kids are jealous that they go to public school: ‘Nicole said it is unfair for her children to see mine go to school while hers do not’
Public school is not perfect. Many public school students leave school with a less-than-stellar grasp of basic concepts that should be second nature by the time they’re 18. However, I resent the idea that all public schools are cesspools of low morals and mediocre education. I’d venture to say that many parents who enroll their …

‘Do not homeschool your kids. You are NOT up to it.’: Former homeschoolers share why they think parents should not homeschool their kids
Homeschooling is one of those things that everyone has a strong opinion about. As a public schooler for life, I can’t speak to the experience of kids who were never in a traditional school environment, but I know for certain that I would’ve hated it. I love being around people, and I get kind of …

Entitled mother of 4 throws tantrum over PTA board seat, loudly protests selection of a stay-at-home mom, and insists on wild accusations: ‘This one lady who was not happy with me, no one paid her any attention’
Some people bother themselves with questions about the universe, others dedicate their lives to changing the world, and then there are those, like today’s momma drama queen, whose entire existence appears to hinge on one sacred, self-centered goal, in the case of this entitled piece of work–getting selected for the PTA board. While the rest …

‘My mom said I’m setting [my daughter] up for failure, I told her it’s the 4th grade’: Grandma berates dad for taking his 10-year-old daughter out of school for a week to go on a family vacation to Florida
In the grand scheme of things, missing one week of school is not a big deal. I barely ever missed any extended period of schooling, and when I did, it was because I was sick as a dog. I vividly remember missing a week or two of preschool when I had the flu, and I …

Dad asks ex-wife to unenroll their 10-year-old son from private school because he can’t afford to send his 8 and 10-year-old stepchildren to private school: ‘I won’t deny my kids good things because they can’t afford for her children.’
Life isn’t fair, and there’s no better time to learn that than during childhood. As much as we like to believe children are blind to the inequalities of the world when they’re young and innocent, they notice when someone else has more than they do almost instantaneously. If you cut a cupcake in half and …

25 Teacher Memes For Exhausted Educators Counting Down Until Spring Break
There’s something so wrong about how the spring semester is structured for nearly all K-12 schools. In college, the fall and spring semesters are the exact same length: 4 months. In K-12, the second semester is so much longer that by the last 4 weeks, everyone in the school is going nuts. After Thanksgiving break, …
