My adolescents said the class structure changed every time someone was in there. They said it was a pain. Kids! Don't appreciate us looking over their shoulder at home... or at school.
Dads and moms can still visit Hadley, attend classes and eat lunch with their students. The program is Third Thursday and the first two for the new school year are Sept. 20 and Nov. 15. I don't know why there is not one in October. Your sixth grader will love it, your eigth grader . . . not so sure.
Absolutely true about Hadley and I plan to participate. Watch DOGS never worked for my husband and I do think our son is still pretty bummed out that his Dad never came. But he's one of those Dad's whose work hours prevent him from attending and even if he was, by chance, off, he had got to catch up on all the other things that didn't get done while he was working (such as sleep, house projects, or paying bills - joy). Maybe he'll get to visit Hadley this year though....he'd rather go without all the fanfare and the specially designated shirt.
