I choke on water sometimes (I also fall up stairs...), so maybe they should do away with the water fountains, too.<br /><br />The principal returned my email on Monday morning. He said they're going to choose a new song for show choir. I know I'm "that mom", but I can live with that. Transferring my daughters back to public school from Catholic school meant giving up the common values we shared with other parents. There are some moments, though, when I have to put my foot down. Having my daughter tour elementary schools while singing those lyrics was one of those moments.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00971970024245558147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698173125786050172.post-50645846824601252772014-01-14T10:54:39.323-05:002014-01-14T10:54:39.323-05:00Lyrics in songs frustrate me!

I know our parents did the same with the music we listened to. Overall, I think the school district in NY (where I live) has too much control. Children aren't even allowed to carry non-medicated chapstick at school (and they need it)!! One time my daughter split her lip and I sent her with chapstick. The chapstick was taken from her. I told the school nurse that the next time my daughter split her lip, I would keep her home until it healed. I am visiting via bloggy moms, and I would love a return visit if you find the time! <a href="http://momsgotmail.com" rel="nofollow">Mom's Got Mail</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854211214418987635noreply@blogger.com
