So, my first baby started school this fall. Right after Labour Day. Bam. All day. Every day. Suddenly, we're rushing through supper to get everybody to bed by 7 pm. If not, E1 can barely make it through the next day. Naps are now a no-no at this school. Once in a while, some students get super duper quiet time, where they sit and read books by themselves. But that's about it.
This is not the our biggest concern. We are dealing. We have adjusted (almost). The boomerang lunch is truly the bane of my existence.
The premise has some merit, I suppose. Reduce garbage by returning it all to the parent who sent it. Make sure everyone knows how much garbage they have really produced. But that's not all that's to it. The reality is that the school board needs to find a way to make cuts to its budget. Hence, reduce the garbage/janitorial costs. Shift it instead to our house. Even apple cores come home. If this is a green project, perhaps a composter could be in order? Really
So, you will have to excuse me now, while I go and get out the second of two lunch bags we keep for E1. The first one is bound to come home in need of a deep power clean. 1. 2.
