Short Placeholder Update

Kids are still cute, school visits still numerous, paperwork still daunting. Hosting a pajama party playdate tonight. For kids, not adults. I also finally found a pamphlet that gives me all those weird little school district details that I've been chasing for weeks -- who's in Program Improvement, which elementary schools feed into which middle and high schools, etc.

Thanks indirectly to nihilistic_kid, I also now know Oakland Unified's policy on peanuts. Which is to say, no policy. I suspect individual schools may have individual rules. I look forward to being able to pack peanut butter sandwiches and the like, I must say.

Children's Culture

I had never heard of the children's game "What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?" until the kids started playing it spontaneously in my living room during the play date tonight.
