Yes, 6 classes for the whole year in 2 semesters. Usually the same classes each semester, though we have some kids take a class only one semester: marching band, photography, mostly electives. So, they do not have big gaps between taking the first year of something and then the second year. They just alternate so that they have 6 hours of class daily-- only 3 classes of 2 hours each. Those 2 hour classes are great for classes that require time to set up for instruction such as home ec classes like foods or clothing construction, drama, auto shop, science labs, video production, orchestra and band, computer lab, art classes of all kinds, PE. Typing/key boarding teachers had to change their instruction mode because 2 hours straight of typing practice was too much for those fingers. The advanced maths also had to rethink how they teach--classes like calculus, statistics and even AlgebraII/Trig. I think they ended up letting them start their math homework in class where the teacher could tutor them if they got stuck. One great health side effect is that the students do not have to carry around 5 or 6 heavy books every day. Also, we had less wandering in the halls as they had fewer passing periods and trips to their lockers with two morning classes, lunch and then their last class. Students who had orthodontist or other doctor appointments could pick the day of the week for their appointment to avoid missing the same class all the time. We also have zero period classes, and a student elects to take a zero period class, usually upper classmen only. Those classes meet the hour before school starts every day. Our high schools are big and this is one way we increase space by how we use the buildings.

myfampg, your ex is a jerk. And you are correct, you cannot change the temporary order any more than he can. For a brief period, way back when, it was alternating holidays with BM. According to DH she never showed up for hers, and that only lasted for a few months anyway. Then the judge stripped all holidays from her; for right now it's a straight every third weekend visitation schedule with holidays not taken into account at all. (Way to go, judge-idiot! I sincerely hope that they have saved you a special corner in purgatory where you can contemplate the consequences of your 30-second, I don't feel like dealing with this, split the baby, "decision".) Anyway, I think the original schedule was something like Christmas Eve until 9:00 AM Christmas morning, and then the rest of Christmas Day with the other parent. For young kids with parents who live close together, I think that that is not a bad one. When I was a kid, my parents lived in separate states. There was no court order because they never went to court for custody but worked it out themselves. We usually spent most of Christmas break with my father; since the distance was as far as it when we went was based more on when weekends fell in relationship to Christmas than anything else (if parents drove they met half-way, it was an all day drive so they needed to do it on a weekend, although at holidays sometimes we flew or took the train). Our schedule was more like Parent of One's DD. It's a tough one because of course the non-custodial parent wants to see their kid as much as they can, but particularly as kids start to head into their teen years it's hard to miss every holiday or summer event with their friends.

For anyone in/near CT (with really good lawns!) I'm wondering what your fertilization schedule is (including all other items such as crabgrass pre-emergent, weed control, insect control, lime, iron, etc...). Of course it will vary from lawn to lawn, and depend on the whether for exact timing, but just wondering what you've found that works well for you. Thanks!
