This morning I sent Froglet off to her new school. There are very few French secondary schools in Toronto, so it's pretty far away from our house. She now has her own key because she'll be home earlier than me in the evening (OMG!!!) and her very own brand new cellphone. (Oh man, seems like she was a baby just YESTERDAY!)

She texted me this morning: "The school bus took me to the wrong school. Don't worry, everything is fine."

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EVERYTHING IS FINE? *hyperventilates*

A new year of insanity has begun.

She's in grade 7; technically it's middle school, but in the Ontarian French System they decided to push grades 7 and 8 out of the elementary school system, for tactical/political reasons. It's all about holding on to your students, never mind what's actually GOOD for them...

Oh, that's how it is here. I guess now most systems do elementary-middle-high, which is K-5, 6-8, 9-12. Though where I went, it was elementary-junior high-senior high, so K-6, 7-9, 10-12. The very first elementary school I went to was a K-8, but that is very very (VERY) rare anymore.
