Bad Day
Oh, I wish the end of school were here. Caroline is having a very difficult time staying at school. She says she can't deal with the behavior of the boys there anymore. She only has twelve more days of school, including six days of final exams. I had a conference with the assistant principal today about strategies to help her get through the final push. I really felt like pulling my hair out from the stress of dealing with Caroline's attitude of "I quit!" My husband is out of town so I am playing single mom and having to be four different places at the same time (all I do is drive it seems.) Caroline had her last meeting with the counselor she has had since last May, and now we will have to adjust to someone who is new. Oh boy. I am just really tired tonight. Tired of homework, and kids who don't want to do homework, the end of year projects (four in two weeks) the AP exams, the SAT, etc. I am looking forward to summer in a big way.
The end is the hardest. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for the end too! My son is 12 and he has never had too many problems at school up until now. We have finally gotten through the testing for an IEP or 504 plan but the meeting isn't for another week. I get daily emails from the teacher on behavior. Apparently she is punishing him but he has no idea why because they don't tell him. She emailed yesterday and said she thought his behavior was due to his increased popularity! His meds have changed, its the end of the year and I have been warning them this is going to happen! Seriously, do some research! I've actually thought about home schooling for the rest of the year but I think he would be upset that he wouldn't get to see his friends. He hasn't had too many in the past, but I worry that these kids are just waiting for him to do something funny in class. He has been cycling so quickly lately.
