Sheesh. But was that an example of the price of wood or food going up?

Many people don’t realize that you do not have to provide immunization for public school registration in CA. You have the right to sign a waiver declaring that you are opting out due to personal reasons (religious, medical, philosophical, etc.). The public school office will tell you that you need it and will even turn you away if you don’t have it but if you request the exemption form legally they have to provide it to you and accept it.

I don’t want to threadjack but Rus, my 3 kids are all up one grade. But I homeschool them so I guess it’s not as complicated of a situation (depending on how you look at it) as in public school.

As for changing schools, my family moved when I was 11 and 17. I’m not going to sugarcoat; it sucked both times in different ways. There are 5 kids in my family and I saw how it affected us all differently (the 2nd move I was the only one affected). Like someone else said, it really depends on the child and the situation. I think changing schools can be a good thing if the child is having problems at the current school. For example, my brother struggled in school and when we moved, my parents decided to have him repeat the 8th grade. Since it was a new school in a totally different state, no one knew and it turned out to be the best thing that happened to him both academically and socially. Personally I wouldn’t do it if my child was doing really well at a particular school and it could be avoided.

There are/were alcoholics in my family. My advice? Do nothing other than telling the person you think they have a problem and are willing to help them ONLY with solving their problem. Do not offer any other help at all because it will only enable them to continue. Sounds harsh but talk to any addict who has successfully made it to the other side and they’ll readily admit that they would do anything to continue their habit. Until they admit they have a problem and want to change, there is nothing you can do. That would be my advice if the person didn’t have minor children. They are only hurting themselves. If the person had minor children, it would depend on the situation. It gets even stickier if it’s a family member with children. Unfortunately I have experience with that.
