I just got another disappointment from the school today! When I got home from my son's school this morning, I checked my e-mail and found a message from one of my son's teachers, informing me that he left some work for my son in the Office! Yes, I thought, finally, we are getting some where (although it's nearly too late, last day of school next Thursday).
My oldest son and I rode our bicycles around town, as usual, running more errands. Took him to the eye doctor so he could get a new prescription. Stopped off to buy some food. I sent my son to stop by the school and pick up the assignments for my youngest son to work on when he gets home from school. I had to race home quickly to get the food in the fridge and freezer.
When my son gets home with the work from the Office (he had to be persistent because the people in the Office said that there is no work for my youngest boy), we look at the papers from the Office, and there are no assignments, only a list of the missing assignments along with attendance.
So, once again, the teachers have failed to help my son, by providing him with make-up work, alternate assignments ....
I e-mailed the teacher, even though principal told me not to contact the teachers anymore. I think I kept my cool pretty good with this e-mail message, as I usually do. I asked the teacher, again, for make-up work and alternate assignments, work sheets, packets, whatever.
My son is failing 7th grade .... This is totally unacceptable ... !!! He is an A and B student, reads on a very high level (adult level), loves to read, is good at creative writing, very artistic (some of his drawings are professional looking!), and wants to do good in school.
I am very frustrated, angry, and really would like to pull my hair out, but I don't have much left .....
