And another thing...
Aug. 13th, 2008 11:53 am...while I'm in annoyed mode.
Normally, on Wednesdays the kids have a half day, getting out at 11:30. Apparently group 5 and up stay until 12:30, a fact which I only just learned today when my son failed to show up at what I thought was the right time.
Amazingly, no one thought to notify me (or the other parents of new Group 5 students) of this. I guess the whole fucking world is supposed to just KNOW this. The teacher looked at me like I had two heads when I said that I hadn't been aware of it. It's ALWAYS been this way, and how could anyone NOT know this.
I just love how foreigners are treated in this country. It's subtle, but the discrimination is very much there.
