When my daughter was in elementary school, I spent nearly as much time in the classroom as she did. Field trips? I was there. Storybooktime? That was me behind The Polar Express. The Annual Talent Show? I still have the clipboard and the program template. Then came junior high, which passed in approximately ten minutes, and now high school, the second year of high school in fact, and it's all fallen away - no volunteering, no clue as to classmates, not even sure of the principal's name. The only remaining ritual is the Parent-Teacher Meeting, which takes place tonight. Parenting evolves like anything else, I guess. Here's one checklist to see if you're ready for the experience.
