The Meeting

Oh, boy. She's going to be one of "those" parents. You know the kind--every graded paper kept in a folder so they can be scrutinized for mistakes. Every single thing I do as a routine is questioned, including not having a set math test day "like the other school did". I think we're all wishing they'd never left the other school--maybe they'll go back. One of the adults at the meeting agreed with us that Rotney was done no favor by getting to retake tests (with "help") because he hasn't learned any skills that way. The other adult just wants him to continue to be on the honor roll because, as she says, "These F's are hurting his self-esteem." Sorry, I don't modify grades to B's. I will help Rotney pass, but please remember that D's and C's are also passing grades. The meeting was tense, but without the other adult's support (her own mother, BTW), there wasn't a whole lot she could do but keep a pickle-sour look on her face.

Ooooh! Big News! Skippy had his meds today! Talk about a difference--he was actually able to sit and work and didn't eat anything off the floor all day! I hope he stays on them--our kids' meds are quite often "lost" because mom sells them.
