So we get here right and I investigate the school system. Well I'm very happy with it and so far but........ I checked on when my son can start school, he missed starting K by 6 fucking days. 6 FUCKING DAYS!!! Ok I swallow my anger and think, oh well at least he will be the most mature child in his class and besides boys take longer to get things, as least in the early years. No biggy that he will be 6 for MOST of Kindergarden, so I go look at the preschools they offer. I guess it is something like head start and tell me that it is mainly geared for the lower enlisted. She gave an example such as: if your husband is a captain and you only have one child you woudl't qualify. I'm like WHOLY SHIT that is my life. My husband is a Captain and we do only have one child, so they refuse to take him. So, I again swallow my anger and go over to the CDC(child development center), where I get the packet to enroll him in the 3 day afternoon preschool enrichment(at this point I'm desprete). After 3 days of running from here to there getting signatures and waivers and seeing doctors I finally get the packet done. I take it back and they tell me(the CDC) oh it great, well now you have to wait. I said how long, they said oh about 6 months.
6 FUCKING MONTHS??????? By then it will be almost time to start REGULAR FUCKING SCHOOL. They say "sorry that is all we have".
I'm so fucking angry I could spit and tear up this base. So I guess my child who is 5 is just supposed to sit at home, me not get a job, and just wait around for K to start eh? No interaction with childrne his own age, which he is craving. No they are all at school during the fucking day. He crys to me every day, mom when am I going to school? SIGH I hate my life right now!!

That sucks! Poor kid! Was he in a school before you moved there? Can't they do something if that is the case??

that is utterly rediculous. Being that it is such a small time, is there anyway you can fight it?

That blows! Can't they do some sort of testing for him? You know, show them that he's ready and can handle it? Six days...seems like they could make an exception.

Hannah misses the cut off by 7 days. She'll have to wait an entire year to start kindergarten because of it.

I know how you feel and yeah, it blows :(
