                Isn't it though!  I really needed all of your comments to reaffirm that things really ARE done differently here and I am not simply going out of my mind in feeling strange about things sometimes!! Thanks heaps to you all!!

                KaBoom, this is the first time in my life that I have heard of clothes pins and dust cloths being a part of a child's required school supplies.  How interesting!

                    Don't worry about E
                
                    She might seem to be "lost" in a group, but she's still her own person--and a wonderful one, at that! 
  Sounds like J is really embracing the next leg of his education--I love hearing about the education system over there, and how much it differs from ours!

                I agree they need to grow in their own way. A good start sets up a great finish!  sam

                it IS...we're trying to do the same with Aly over here..but the way the school writes things and what is usual common sense are two different things! LOL
