and let's not even get into the numerous projects some of these kids end up having to do. And the parent homework. I'm sorry but I have enough to do... I don't have time to do parent homework for 4 kids. I already went to school. A few times. lol And this isn't just signing work and being involved. It's like crazy work.
Where do you guys live that your kids don't start school til September? Out here, everyone starts school ranging from mid to late august, depending on what grade you are. Even most colleges start in august. However, for some reason my college would always start on September 27th, I guess because of the quarter system vs the semester system. My friends would always be like 'Ugh, first day of school' and I'd be like "WHAT? CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE WAVES OF THE BEACH!"

I'm in Wisconsin. I grew up in Mass and we always started the day after Labor Day. I love it. I couldn't imagine going back in August. It was like that in NC and I hated it.
I firmly believe science fair was made to torment parents. Last year wasnt too bad with projects, the year before I seriously looked into buying poster boards in bulk.
I think it helped that I was a mom first. There was a 2nd grade teacher who would assign her students a paragraph a night, plus spelling, plus math, plus reading log, plus whatever the hell project they had going on. Ridiculous.
Thankfully Science Fair is only mandatory in 5th grade here and any other grade can participate if they wish. Chloe did it in Kindy and we did the life cycle of a caterpillar. My friend and I ended up doing most of the work. We put a lot of effort into making that see through balloon cocoon and styrofoam ball caterpillar haha. Then she did it the next year with another friend but it wasn't crazy. Skipped the last two years. This just reminded me that she is in 5th grade this year so it's required. Yuck lol EDIT: I saw a presentation science fair board at the store the other day for like 39.00. Who the heck is buying those things????
How many approved HITs do you have? The only quals are Total approved HITs is not less than 5000, HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 99 Probably just need to get some more numbers
Haven't been on the board lately, and I am so sad to hear of this.... Although I'm not on here much and don't know very well, I can feel your pain. My husband lost his brother in 1997 and it took a long time for us to get over the pain of losing him. If you have the means, please make sure to try to seek some grief counseling if you can--from what I understand, Hospice will help people through their grief, even if the person didn't die in a hospice situation. At the time of my brother-in-law's death, my husband and I didn't do that and I truly believe that it took us and our whole family a much longer time to come to grips with the reality of his death and to heal from it. (I think it took at least 2 years for us to go through it "naturally" and without grief counseling.) I feel for you as you and your family may have a painful journey in front of you as you deal with his death and your own feelings of loss. The only up side to this situation is that although he must have felt very deeply depressed, he at least is no longer in whatever pain he may have been feeling. I know that's not much in the way of consoling those who are left behind, but if you can, have your family gather together some family photos and put together a memory board of the good times in your lives and try to think of him in happier times. It may help to ease the pain a little, as you think of how he lived in better times, vs. how he died. ((((((HUGS ))))))
I missed this post this morning so pardon my late reply. You have my sincere condolences, ifadoll. I am so sorry for you and your family's loss.
