[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 550685, member: 3419"] Step, I hear you! I finally got a call back from the lead English teacher. She sounds young and on-the-ball. She gave me the name of the English teacher that difficult child has and said that she was in the ofc when the lead teacher took my more detailed, second call. The fact that by coincidence, difficult child read ONE of the books on the summer reading list (Frankenstein, a gift from his bio grandmother) is going to be a boon. Also, he did read this summer, so he can actually write a report on ANY book he read this summer, despite the fact that the online book lists were supposedly required. (Reminds me of my first week as a reporter, way back in 1988. Mgmt told me they expected 10 lead stories a week. I busted my b*typical teen and did it. They were shocked. "We don't actually expect anyone to do that. If you really do 10 stories, about half of them will be community pieces or something easier. We were just seeing what you could do. Four will be fine." Grrr. Trial by fire. difficult child told me to trust him; English is his strong point. Okay, I think that's a good idea. :) [/QUOTE]
