Huh?


So, last night was the big open house at my oldest daughter's school. All went well and she has some really good teachers. But I do have one question...How do you have a class called Keyboarding when you don't have any keyboards and there are no plans to get any?

Yes, you read that correctly. She is in Keyboarding...which I thought was great because typing is no longer something that the "girls do". With computers, it is very important to know how to type. But this teacher started the "class" by saying that this is keyboarding class but we do not have keyboards. Therefore I am teaching business.

There is nothing wrong with teaching business. Why not just call it a Business Class? What happens if they get keyboards next year and they are not allowed to take the class because they have already had it?

It is just an example of how stupid our school board is. Why even offer a keyboarding class if they know that keyboards are not available?

WTF??? That is too messed up. I saw all kinds of people last night. I definitely feel more confidant about this year.

ROFLMAO!
THAT is ridiculous!
Can she take a cooking class with no stoves, too? Sounds like the parents will be hit up to provide keyboards at some point... Tell the school to go to the local pawnshops, maybe there are a few of those laptops that the school provided a few years back still there they can access...
