[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 192221, member: 9"] Well, I forced the band issue because I really want her to be part of a positive group. 6th grade seems to be the year they start identifying themselves. I really don't want her to fall into the wrong cliche. She is so impressionable and will do anything to fit in and have friends. I know she is an easy target. Right now in band they really aren't playing their instruments yet. They are learning about it's history. I think this is why she is so bored with it. Plus she doesn't take well to anything new. Dazed, She is interested in art. She loves painting, making sculptures, etc. Thing is she does not ant to follow any kind of instruction. She wants to make what she wants. I've tried getting her into art classes outside of school. She won't even follow the instructions on a craft kit at home. TerryJ2, There is another problem.... she is pretty close to "developed." Most people do not believe she is 11 until she talks to them. She is 5'5", wears a juniors size 5, and size 9 shoe.:anxious: Meowbunny, I agree, the logic is NOT there.:winking: Adrianne, She has an IEP so they can't give her too horrible of a grade. Yes, I think I have heard all of the excuses you listed. lol Star, What a sad story about choir. I can't believe the teacher was so cruel. I'm an artist as well. I guess that is where my difficult child gets it. Daisylover, They don't offer choir in 6th grade. I wish. She really enjoys it in church Donna, I know what it sounds like. It will be awful at first.:happy: I loved that flashback story. :bigsmile: Timerlady, WOW! I can't believe the twins are 14!. Time flies. I can live with her wearing light tinted lip gloss now but thats about it. She has the prettiest complexion now. Sounds like you handled the makeup controversy well. Steph [/QUOTE]
