Parenting Note #734 – Managing The Cohorts

The kids received their school schedule at the beginning of the month.

Cohort #1 goes to school Mondays and Wednesdays and Cohort #2 attends school Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both my kids are in cohort #1.

I immediately had a question.

“What the hell are cohorts?!?!”

And I thought maybe this term just applies to my kid’s school but I talked to a friend with kids in a completely different school district and, YUP!, also cohorts.

I like the word because it sounds very close to cahoots, which makes sense because it sounds like groups of children would get together to conspire to drive their parents insane for the next nine months.

I’m sure there’s an incredibly good reason the kids are referred to as cohorts and not groups. I’m sure someone will email, DM, or comment as to the reason.

I’m sure the first homeschool question from my kids will be “what’s a cohort?”
