Summer School! Take your more difficult classes in the summer, get higher grades, smaller classes! Free up time when you get to Grade 12 - #SummerSchool is a great option! #Education #LAUSD

#SummerSchool is open, now, in a lot of places, #LAUSD has a great Summer School Program - all sorts of classes and courses, all levels of education.

You can still enroll your child (or yourself!) for Summer School!

I taught Summer School with LAUSD, for years - it was so great, and I had both my children take Summer School classes - it's a great way to get classes done, quickly, to free some time up, in Grade 12 : >

If your child is struggling with any classes, like Math, Algebra, English... have them take a Summer School class - the teacher might have a different approach, usually smaller class sizes, and you're in and out, by lunch time, so it won't interfere with the rest of the day!

Quite often, students will get higher grades in Summer School, too - the curriculum is shortened, more condensed material, is a great learning environment!

There is usually a Code of Conduct for students in Summer School, too, so behavioral issues are few and far between, and immediately dealt with, unlike during the regular school year, where there isn't nearly enough discipline (we all know that, now - hopefully, that will change, too, so all students can learn in peace and quiet, with no fear of any level of danger).

#BackToSchool - School Uniforms - A Surprisingly Easy Way to Get the Kids Ready for #School! lol! #Aidan!

Summer Clearance Sales - Yippee - and, don't forget, I get a wee something from each sale, since I am an Affiliate of these stores - So thank you so much! You're so sweet for buying through me! : )

That's my wonderful son, Aidan - lol!  He loooves his school uniform, even though it's from his old school in California - or, that's where it started....

It's nice to send your kids off to school, looking smart and tidy... it's good for them, it's good for learning... and more often than not, it can set the mood for learning, just by maintaining a standard, you know? They're a serious learner, they plan to be successful in Life ...that sort of thing : )

School Uniforms - A Surprisingly Easy Way to Get the Kids Ready for School! lol! #BackToSchool

I think what happens when kids wear School Uniforms early on - they get a feel for just looking neat and clean, all the time, and, frankly, that's good for a 'business appearance', you know? whatever helps your kid to get ahead in life, that's a good way to go.... 

I didn't grow up with School Uniforms, though,and I really liked that level of freedom, and I leave the house all neat and tidy every day, too, sooo... you know, either way, your child is gonna grow up and be ah'mazing!

I was dead-set against the School Uniform, at first, because I felt like it would take away the individuality of the students, but it didn't, it provided a quick, nice, and easy way to get the kids ready for school, every morning.




We had all been invited to a 'Fashion Show' for the kids, when Aidan was in Grade 5, in Los Angeles, and we were horrified at the mere idea of switching over to School Uniforms, but then when I was talking to my fantastic Assistants, my wonderful para-professionals in my Special Education classroom, they were telling me that their kids had been at schools where they had School Uniforms, and their lives were soo much better, much easier to get the kids ready for school in the morning, and it took away that whole, 'what should I wear' thing - that's huuuge.  Much bigger in some families than other, but when the decision is 'white shirt or blue shirt', very easy.

And no more issues between the kids and comments on what someone else was or wasn't wearing - a big problem in a lot of schools. Eliminating this issue or who has which sneakers, or brand name shirts or pants - that can make school a much better experience for so many students.

So I used to just have piles of pants and piles of shirts, all ready for Aidan when he got up, so getting dressed was super-easy - always easy, and we didn't have any issues, before, but it was much easier to transition to the School Uniforms than I thought it would be, and now Aidan just likes how it looks, and he always looks neat and tidy, well put-together, you know?

AND, you can hand down your child's School Uniforms to the next kids coming along - either at school,, or with your friends, or their own siblings... is easy, the kids look neat and tidy, and it can solve some serious problems at school. It's win-win-win!
