Odds and Ends

We've been a little tied up so here are some odd notes and observations.

A sign posted in the hallway-
Computer co-op meeting
1 PM
to discuss the intense nature of the room

(Note-There are different co-ops for different areas of interest. There is a library co-op, a kitchen co-op, sports co-op and art co-op and probably a couple of others. They set up rules for certfication, maintain the equipment/space, fund raise for supplies, etc. The computer co-op fought very hard for the money to buy 5 really good computers. They also have a very complicated sign up process to use them which I know has frustrated Amelia in the past.)

The little kids have a new game called JC. Des explained it to me "Somebody does something bad and they get written up. Then they say they're not guilty but they are guilty so we have a trial." Hmm, I think they are missing a key concept of our justice system.

Amelia called me to ask if I knew where her friend's lunch box was.

Amelia had a bad week at JC. I know this because she gave me a long lecture about how the big kids don't get written up for anything but little kids get written up for "every single little thing we do!!".

When the kids were asked about their school by a neighbor they explained that Sudbury doesn't have classes or grades. Then they added "Who wants to sit at a desk all day and just be bossed around?" Amen to that.
