Tuesday evening.
Had a pretty nice weekend. Didn't go anywhere but hung around my neighborhood. All my neighbors are pretty good friends, so we had an impromptu party on the lawn with about 25 people and ten dogs. It was fun till I realized that the wine that I had been drinking was not agreeing with my stomach. So I went home early and thought about it. My stomach usually is quite happy with wine, and then I remembered that large slice of cherry cheesecake that the hostess gave me. That must have been the thing.
One of the dogs, a Doberman, chewed up another dog's ball and ended up swallowing the whole thing. The owner (a Coast Guard pilot,) asked for hydrogen peroxide. He held the dog's mouth open and dumped it down the dog's throat. And as he predicted, about five minutes later, up came the ball! Never saw that trick before.
Hope every one enjoyed the weekend!

Good morning everyone,
Yeah, it's Wednesday!
The week is almost over.
I get to talk to Kaedon Principal & hopefully the School board or someone high up. Kaedons teacher told her (with attitude)
"You might as well not show up tomorrow knowing that you're not being promoted."
Really? I wonder what the School board will say about what she said. Besides, I believe it's against the law. Aren't teachers supposed to be supportive of a childs attendance & not belittle a student for failing? Kaedon has come home crying numerous times throughout the school year because of things her teacher has said to her, not to mention when Kaedon would go up & ask for help or ask her to explain it differently, the teacher would tell her to go sit down & get her work done. So, Kaedon would turn in incomplete work & get Ds or Fs because she didnt understand.
Oh well, im sure when I talk to the Principal, Kaedon is going to get all the blame for not paying attention in class & so on!
Enjoy your day.

Good morning Donna. No, that is not the way a teacher should behave. I hope you can get this straightened out, the idea is for the teacher to ensure the kids understand the material she is putting out. If she can't do that, then SHE is the failure. Kaedon shouldn't have to put up with such rudeness. I think that teacher needs to find a new profession. I'd be pissed if someone said that to my daughter!!!
#327
Donna, I agree with Pat, that teacher needs to find a new profession. That is not how you teach someone. If they don't understand a problem, or question you explain it in a different way until they do understand. That is teaching. I would complain all the way to the top if necessary. There is no reason that teacher should get away with treatment like that.

This weekend I have the water & sewer going to house & RV locations on our property. So that will be a busy few days.
Bruce had to be the cheesecake. It would be crazy to think it was the wine. Wine settles the stomach. So my guess was not enough wine. I have seen that trick with the HP but not with a ball.

That's right Craig.
I am fuming a bit right now after Donna's post. Sounds like that mf teacher is going through menopause and her patience has left her. This is a really pissy attitude and
no student should have to put up with not having her questions answered and just get
put off like that.
Donna I am sorry that this went on so long. You need to talk to the principal about
that teacher's behavior, especially not giving help when it is asked for. That's her job.
Good luck with the outcome.
You have to take charge when you go there to talk. I had a problem when my son was
in Jr. hi. They were going to transfer him to another school because he was busted for fighting. It was always the "counsellor" with the bad news. So after they explained the situation and that they had decided to transfer him out, I just stood up and loudly said NO! and let that hang in the air for a while. When the principal and the counsellor both started to jabber again, I repeated NO again and I said "what's going to happen here is that when these squabbles break out, the Counsellor is going to get his butt in gear and find out all the details the lead up to the fighting." It had not happened, the group surrounding the fight were all friends of the guy my son had popped in the eye. They all swore that my son threw the first punch. All that led to a lot of discussion about how overworked he was etc. so I mentioned that my son shouldn't have to pay the price for him (the counsellor,) not doing his job. It worked.
Another aspect to this was we had make a lot of effort to make our schedules work out. If my son had gone to a different school, I would have to have taken off work every day to go pick him up. So I was in the mood to fight over the situation, but the outcome was good. I just told my son that he should do his fighting off campus.
