maybe we do live in the sma e neighborhood - seperated by time and space. - the true test, if you voted in the afternoon would you get one of Nancy's cookies?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I always find it interesting to listen to what the poll workers are talking about. The first time I voted in Chicago they were putting together a pool on how many voters there would be in that precinct.
This time they were mostly fielding questions. One woman wanted to know why she couldn't vote for Tammy Duckworth and Melissa Bean. Once it was explained to her that those women were running in other districts, she wanted to know why all their ads aired here.
Another woman was noticing that all the signs were in English/Spanish/Chinese and was asking if other languages were accomodated. I heard them mention Korean and a long list of other languages. They seemed to think those were only available as touch-screen ballots, though.

Because books.
Is there going to be a language issue for a while, msbelle, or does Mac have some English?
Also, I used to work afterschool progams in NYC -- you can look into the local YWCAs, because very often they will pick up from neighborhood schools, and then you pick up your child from there. I worked at Lenox Hill Neighborhood Association (E. 70th St., IIRC), which was like a Y but not, and that's what we did.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ohio's Secretary of State is no peach, either.
Imagine if he were governor....

What is even happening?
msbelle, in addition to what AmyLiz mentioned, I know there's no after-care program at our school, but there is a Y bus to the aftercare program at another school in town.

We have that at my son's school. It works out great for his best friend. They have homework time, then play time. His mom says it's worth the money for them.

He has been learning English since August, but I do not expect him to have a ton. The school is a full-integration school though and so English aid will be directly in the class with him.

How are you doing with your language tapes, msbelle?
