Bill3....looking back on it now, yes, I agree. If there is going to be a change from the usual procedure, it should come from the parent. I guess I should have thought of that. These kids are very responsible and I thought they knew what they were supposed to be doing. Especially in this day and age with cell phones. They are constantly in contact with their parents and if there is a question about a schedule, they can usually quickly contact their parent to find that out. And they usually do. I will say this, the last time Thomas did not get a ride home with me due to having piano lessons, his mother did not give me any advance notice. I put a notice out on the group text telling all the parents I was getting the kids, and as I was about to leave the school I get a text from Thomas's mother saying she would come get him to take him to piano lessons. So they've not done a good job communicating in the past which fed into the confusion of this situation.
