I read an article from azcentral that there would be year round schooling in some school districts. I am not familiar with the public school system here and slowly learn more about it before my daughter begins preschool. My daughter is only 4 months old, but even some have told me to sign up for preschool now. Go figure.

My school memories include taking naps, painting and eating lunch in preschool. Having my hair pulled by some mean girls in elementary school, and being in the nerdy group in high school. I had no idea of the finances that came with my academics. I will have to learn now.

I do know, however, how lucky kids are in this computer age. Finding answers to questions from class won’t take all day sifting through books in the library, like in my day. Just google it. I even read 4th graders in a Phoenix elementary school doing away with chalkboards and bringing in these interactive (computer screen) boards instead. Amazing.

Children now are going to learn so much so quickly now. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing, but I hope my daughter will have a well rounded education – art and science – while having fun at the same time. I know I’ll be there to support her every step of the way. I hope the education system won’t disappoint us.
