Graduation

[TehBorken]

 I'll be off later today to attend my son's 6th Grade Graduation ceremony. I can't believe he'll be in Junior High School next year.

Pardon me while I go off into a corner and feel very, very old.

Holey S*it! You ARE old!

It's not just flying, it's breaking the sound barrier, lol.

On a cheerier note, my son told me that my ex-wife told him that she hopes I don't show up at his graduation. What kind of sick shit is that to say to a 12 year old kid? What a f*cking ****.  

Well f*ck her, she's just shit out of luck. It's a once in a lifetime event and the school is 2 blocks away. Fricking god himself couldn't keep me from being there. Hell, I've been involved from Day 1, I'm in the PTA, I've been the school's webmaster for 7 years, and I put up the money for the graduation swim party they had the other day. I'm in class all the time helping out and doing stuff.  My ex-wife's involvment consists of everything shown between these two lines:
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
That's right, nothing. Nada, zip, zero, zilch. The teacher wouldn't even recognize her if she ever did drop in to the class. (Assuming she could even find the school, lol.)

So she can sit on a barbed-wire fence post and spin like a disco-ball for all I care. I couldn't imagine saying something like that to my son about his mom. And she wonders why I got custody. It's simple: I'm not a sick, vindictive psycho-bitch from hell, that's why.

*hugs* to teh borken.  I know how you feel.

TehBorken, you are a very good daddy to your son.  You are young enough to know and understand him, and yet old enough to guide him wisely.  He is a very lucky boy.

[P.C.]

Agreed Kitten.  The very fact that you recognize that dissing his mother doesn't hurt HER, but hurts HIM says something.  Bless yer buttons TehBorken !!!!

He's a lucky kid to have such a devoted parent!
As for the mom, she sounds like a waste of flesh, but try not to let her insanity ruin the good things in your life!! I know it's easier said than done. Anyway, I'm very impressed with your parental skills and focus!

I guess I don't now Washington States school system but in Missouri 6th grade is middle school.

K-5 Elementary

6-8 Middle School

9-12 High School  

[kitten]

Where I was raised, Kindergarten was optional.  Grades 1 - 6 were classed as elementary, 7-8 were junior high, and 9 - 12 was senior high school.

[purelife]

It's different here.  

  Kindergarten is optional

Grades 1 to 7 is Elementary

Grades 8 to 12 is High School

  I think that different parts of this city has a Junior High.

[P.C.]

On the Island, they have Middle School.  Great division.....1 to 5 at elementary....6 to 8 at Middle School and 9 to 12, high school.  It seems wiser (and more comfortable) to group maturity level rather than age.
