real life in a box made of soda crackers

Each of the schools my children go to, there are three of them now, have something called Curriculum night, though it isn't called exactly that at each school.

Curriculum night is where the parents get to meet the teachers of the kids and learn what is expected of the children through the school year in terms of effort, homework, assignments, projects, tests, quizzes and exams. So far we've had the curriculum night for V-8, who has two teachers; one that teaches French and a few subjects in french and another who teaches English and a few different subjects in english.

We've also had the curriculum night for C-Ling, who is in her first year of high school. Each subject has a different teacher, so we got to meet almost all of her teachers; this was Tuesday evening earlier this week.

This evening we meet G-Bot's teachers. He is in his second last year of high school and so the grades he gets this year are important as the next level of education will look at these as the earliest grades the students get.

I do not recall there having been curriculum nights when I was a kid going through school. Maybe there was and my parents didn't go, but I think it is more likely that there simply wasn't any such thing.
