The First Day of School...Kind of

I worried all night that I couldn't figure out how to get to "my page" or I wouldn't remember how to get to the attendance page or I couldn't find what lessons we're supposed to work on. I didn't even need to stay up worrying about anything since we couldn't access anything.

Apparently when 12,000 or so people log in at the same time the system crashes. Again, I ask you, why do tech guys get paid so much when they can't even figure out simple things such as this. Granted, this was probably more complicated than the headphone issue, but still...at any rate, I no longer am impressed by people who say they "work with computers."

Needless to say, Ian got through one assessment before the system crashed (and this was after 45 minutes of waiting for the computer to login) and then went skateboarding.

So far this homeschool thing is working out real well for him - 1/2 hour of schooltime, 1.5 hours of watching mom move the mouse around to various windows trying to get into school, watching mom try and figure out where the speaker is on her cell phone so she can set it down while the tech guys answer the 11,346 people who are before her asking the same questions...why the hell can't we login??????????

So...first official day of school and Ian went skateboarding and I went to work.
