Yearbooks in Elementary School?

I received a flyer from my son's school announcing pre-orders for.... Yearbooks?!? My son is in Kindergarten! I'm having a hard time stomaching the idea of buying and storing 13 yearbooks! On the flip side i'm wondering if I will be the only parent that says no. I'm not sure it's worth making him be the only kid who does not get one at the end of the year. Does your child's elementary school do yearbooks? Do you buy them? @stitch, that is an interesting thought. I was less than pleased with the school photographer. The class...

12 Year Old Boys...

My girlfriend has a 12 year old boy that is truly driving her nuts. I give as good of advice as I can, but really I raised girls, Im sure its different. Her son, has started "dating" a 13 year old girl (who mom doesnt like hehe), is pretty disrespectful to his mom, he is spoiled with cash & fancy electronics by his Dad that lives in a different city.

Skipping a Grade

I have posted on here before about my son and the situation I was having with him and school, now some new developments have brought me back to get some more information. We have been told since he was three that he was a very bright boy, he is now 6 1/2. Back in Oct/Nov we had a meeting with the principal (thank you!), his teacher and the gifted teacher to discuss what we could do for him. They told us that they don't test kids until the 2nd grade and that it wouldn't prove anything if he was tested because they know he was a smart kid. ...
