I appreciate this suggestion. It just feels like our time there is done/over. I didn't say or do anything ugly, rude or ridiculous that would prevent my child from returning. I calmly stated the facts and our reason for leaving, plus there was a sheet of paper that had to be filled out about WHY...

I agree. School for gym kid: we have no plans to attempt to do anything in the car besides nap, listen to music, maybe some math facts or spelling words...nothing in depth, because she is a car sleeper/car singer. LOL Plus, the car is not a realistic place for this particular child to do school...

Thanks so much for all of the responses! I posted here not because I want everyone to agree with me and cheer me on, but because I knew that you would help me to analyze the different aspects of all that commuting really involves. Thanks so much for not just the encouragement, but for the...

YES! At first, I thought I was nuts, but every evening the girls are there, he talks for at least 30 minutes. My mother-in-law and I can both attest to him talking for at least 1.5 hours on more than one occasion. He talks to the girls like it is a college lecture, then gets mad if they are...

Hi! I have been lurking on the site for a while, reading posts and learning so much about the world of gymnastics. What a great resource! I am happy to now be an official member. Question: My daughter is a new level four. She has been at her current gym for about a year. She was at another...
