I'm an old mom. My first born boy goes to public kindergarten tomorrow. My heart breaks but it soars that he will learn.
Oh don't worry; you certainly aren't alone in that these days! One of my friends has a daughter who is a senior in high school this year. And a 2 year old. It seems to be really common now!I have a son that started kindergarten last week. He's my 3rd child and only son. It's bittersweet to say the least, sending him off all day but kindergarten is fun and that's what I focus on. I also have 2 daughters one just started college last week [emoji]128541[/emoji] and the other is a 10th grader... Talk about an old mom lol
Unless she ends up like my cousin; going for a 2nd masters. I told her she had been in college as long as it took to get through public school!
My daughter just started her junior year of college. Only 5 more to go and she'll have her master's.
I have a senior in college who will hopefully graduate in May with a Music Ed degree. She keeps saying she wants a Master's and maybe even a doctorate. That's fine. However- she decided to go to a private college- very good choice for her but very pricey. We told her that she needs to work a couple of years and pay off the loans from the last 4 years of college before she goes any further.

Does she need a masters to teach in a school setting? (If that is where she wants to use her degree.) I was told teachers need one; within so many years of earning your bachelors and beginning teaching. I think certain subjects do not not require that though. My friend who told me this teaches technology at a middle school. She went back to school in her mid/late 20s and is in her 2nd full year of teaching now (after going straight through to earn her bachelors and masters).

Probably because he is a boy.I feel old now, I'm 45 and have a 3 year and 5 year old.
I would love to homeschool but my 5 year old doesn't like to sit still long for me and my 3 year is a high needs toddler.
It's very common nowadays. My first granddaughter is 17 and her sister, my second granddaughter, is 16 months.Oh don't worry; you certainly aren't alone in that these days! One of my friends has a daughter who is a senior in high school this year. And a 2 year old. It seems to be really common now!

Happy birthday to the two beautiful children and their parents.I have a 3 year old daughter (today is actually her birthday) and my son turns 1 next month. We have one more year before kindergarten and I'm not looking forward to it.
Thanks. I can't believe she's 3 already and Hudson will be 1 next month. Time goes too fast.Happy birthday to the two beautiful children and their parents.
Time certainly does fly. My eldest grandchild, a girl, will be in the army next year. It is amazing.Thanks. I can't believe she's 3 already and Hudson will be 1 next month. Time goes too fast.
Music therapy is great!! I've been following the progress of a teenage boy who had a TBI with a skateboarding accident. He is recovering well and from the updates; the music therapy has been really beneficial to him! They also have been bringing in animals to the rehab facility. I think that might be an enjoyable field to work in.

Not to teach initally. I'm hoping she'll just graduate in May and then teach for a bit and pay off the student loans for the private school she was atI tease her about it, but in all seriousness I don't think she would have done as well as she did at a huge in-state school. One idea she's had was getting a degree in Music Therapy. I looked into a Special Ed degree (at this point in my life it's more work than it's worth). The HR director said that many people who have arts degrees/backgrounds tend to work very well with children who are diagnosed with Autism. I could see her doing that.
And I do mean HUGE in state school. My youngest started her freshman year at a huge school- her class had 4500 incoming freshman !!
