Miserable Monday!
Blech...I mean seriously blech. This is the last week of school and I have so much to do that I don't know when I will be able to come up for air. My son got a bad grade on a project because the teacher said that he didn't do the project part...I am so MAD I could spit nails because we worked REALLY hard on that project and they ran out of time in class to present them all and he was one of the ones they didn't get to and now he is being punished for that. The kicker is that he kept it at school and refuses to bring it home until he can show it in class...I sent a note to the teacher asking for him to be able to show it in class, AND he has asked the teacher on SEVERAL occasions to allow him to show his project and she says at the end of class and then she always forgets. I mean HOW are you going to give a child a bad grade for that? I am so going down there tomorrow....I am taking him to school and we are going to have a heart to heart. I am about over his school....they are DISORGANIZED!!!!! I have never seen a school more disorganized! We have had so many problems this year due to a lack of communication. My son will come home and tell us something and we have never heard of the event or something to that effect...because we get notes home once a week and the information is not very in depth. I hate it! I also have a big problem because of his AR goal. My child loves to read...which is fabulous, but they have set his goal so ridiculously high that he has to read a TON to meet his goal. I have looked at all of the paper work on how they are to set goals and according to his ZPD (his reading level) he should have to have a goal of 9pts. per 9 weeks at reading 60 minutes per day...well his goal is 18pts. He is missing out on stuff because his goal has been set to high. I guess I have waited to long to get this all off my chest because it just makes me SOOOOO angry and I am about to blow up on someone because of it. I am half tempted to pull him out of that school and take him to the private school that I teach at! I mean I am not unreasonable...I am a teacher so I understand how things work, but as a teacher I can say this is RIDICULOUS! AND I assure you if I did this stuff at my school I would have parents jumping down my throat! UGH!!!!!!!! There are a few other things going on, but I don't want to list them in cyberspace in case they fell into the wrong hands. Oh...and today I was supposed to work with the lady in the library to go over duties for my new job and everything. Well, I shower and go and then....guess what...she didn't come in until about 20 minutes before I had to leave. Now she said she emailed me (and I am sure she did...my email has been kinda wonky the last few days) anyway it's not her fault it is just the kind of day that I have had...just overall BLECH! Oh and don't forget my list of "things to do" that is a mile long and I probably couldn't do it all if I had wings! I am just hoping to make it through this week with my sanity! So here's to SURVIVING this week!

I'd so yank him out of that school! You're doing so much to make sure he has a balanced life - Scouts, school and all of the other things. If the school is being stupid...definitely put him somewhere better. GOOD LUCK!!
