the report is in
Both girls got their report cards on Monday. 6 was worried. "I think I got all C's", she said. Wrong! My faith in her teacher has been restored. from B to A+. Don't much care if my shy child gets a B in Drama. B in writing - with a comment that speed of settling on a topic seems to be the impediment. Her writing is clear, thoughtful, well planned, articulate , neat and organized - when she finally gets around to it... A's in math and reading. Her social deficiencies weree noted, but so were her strengths. A great report - and one happy kid!
On the other hand, 4 got the most atrocious report card I have ever seen for a Kindergarten student. Completely appalling behaviour. Doen't listen, doesn't follow class rules, soesn't treat friends with respect. Why did it take until December to bring this to light? Apparently, the teacher just noticed how bad it has gotten!
Meetings tomorrow. 4 will attend with me. 2 adults against one maipulative child. Hope we can make an impression!

Hello, If you are having a class/school meeting, I hope you have someone else on your side, (and your child's) when you attend.
When I did this, I said I wanted another, "ear" because sometimes I forget what is said.
Take what they say with a grain of salt. Make sure they don't set your child up for failure. Remember school is actually a, "business" and there are good teachers and there are bad. It is not always the child's fault. Sometimes, something simple as a, "seat change" or a, "teacher change" may be in order. And, "yes" you can change the teacher, regardless of what they say.Good luck and God Bless.
Uch, I hate the whole scene. Same deal here, and I know how it wears you down. With Liam, the trigger is another kid--a friend of his--who just sparks insane behavior in him.
Hang in there, and good luck.
