Last Day of School

Today is my son's last day of school for the summer well until summer school anyway. Thinking that this last week was going well for him, I found out I was wrong. The teacehr e-mailed me this:


As I write this during Period 4, your son is arguing about going back into
the halls to roam and find his friends. He didn't return to class from
lunch, and my para had to go find him.

Your son has also been tardy to Period 1--three days this week. He just roams around and doesn't come to class until well after the bell.
Then he looks so surprised when I tell him to go get a tardy check.
He will not earn credit for the Level I Support Study Hall Period 4 becuase of all this tardies and because he does no work when he is in this study hall.

Mrs. McNaught asked that he be in my room for Period 4 for the past couple of weeks, and he continues to be tardy.

He did well on 2 portions--Hound of the Baskervilles and Fables, but he did very poorly on
the vocabulary. I practically had to force him to retake the vocabulary to improve his grade.
He repeatedly refused, but I finally persuaded him to do it. I tried to get him
to do it again, but he wouldn't. I haven't had time to figure his final
grade, but I think it will be a C.

Your son has made a lot of improvement from the beginning of the year. I
think he will continue to improve next fall when he returns with more
maturity.


Bless this teacher for trying. Had I known my son was pulling these I don't want to listen bull, I would have been up there faster than cat on a mouse. So now my son is going to have some consquences for his actions. I have asked hm all week how classes were going and if he needed me to follow up with his teachers. He replied no with an innocent look and said to me how hard he is trying. Basically he was hoping that the teachers would close thier eyes to his behavior and not say anything, my son can be unrealistic at times, and I have a feeling I am looking forward to a weekend of cycles.

My son did ask if we could go visit his dad's grave. I just told I would base my answer on his actions and If I feel he can handle it, we will go, if not then we wont. Being memorial weekend I know that is what everyone does, but sometimes I don't think I am up to it either. Have my own emotions to deal with.

Anyway who knows what the evening will bring, either poop on a stick, or happieness .
