Doughnut Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well that's a bit of a porky actually 'cause we never did get married. He has just surprised me with the news that in honour of Claire's good news he's paid for Claire and me to go to Paris ...this weekend! He told her his plans on Thursday and as her doc says it's Ok he booked it (and booked a day off work for me with my bosses) We go Thursday and come back Sunday! Dee. PS. I've always wanted to know what a hall pass is. I mean I get the gist but is it something to do with high school or something? And that's another thing. I don't get the American education system. What ages does high school cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Have a great time in Paris! Ooooh la la! Yes, it is a junior high, senior high school thing. You have to have a hall pass if you are going into the hall from a classroom during class time. It shows the permission of the teacher that it is alright for you to be out there. Junior high is 6-8 grade (11-13 yrs. approx.) and senior high is 9-12 grade (14-17 yrs. approx.). Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 And Don's description describes every one of us. Since we act like high school kids, Ry makes us ask for a hall pass! She'll also fine you 10 bucks if you don't ask for a hall pass, and if you're really bad, she'll make it 20 bucks. Of course, she has to drive to each of respective states to try to collect it. LOLOLOLOL!!!! Have a good time on your break! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well fellow Brit, took me a while to understand this system and no one that I know over here understands our system either. How wonderful of your hubby to send you both to Paris, have a great break and enjoy all (well maybe most!) that the French have to offer! Bon voyage, Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Paris was great when I was there in the DARK AGES! I think you must get souvenirs for all of us and then come to the US and deliver them! Best of times to you both! Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patkid Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hey................are we the only folks who have not traveled abroad???????????? Wow, what a cosmopolitan group! Brian and I feel as though we are HOB-NObbing_ with the swells!!!!! Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Ooooo Paris...well of course you must take the Eiffel Tower pass. Have a wonderful time . I am so jealous. Now about hall passes...Don left out that many teachers think its funny to give kids a hall pass that is different. For example, the wood shop teacher thinks its funny to make kids carry a huge piece of wood, etc. So its not uncommon to see kids carrying the most bizarre things through the hall. So that is why the hall passes I give out have different shapes. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
