Education

Now I always thought he enjoyed reading. My poor little granddaughter is going to have to repeat first grade because she has missed to many days. Both children have. The blame lays in their mother's lap. She was taking the kids to school in the morning. But she can't manage to get her lazy ass out of bed. We live right next door. We have told her to call us and we would take them. It is better to be 5 mins late then not go at all. They have been having martial problems. My son got a new job and he at to go to three different places they send him to. So now she is stuck having to take them. At parent teacher meetings my son went for his daughter and his step son and their mother. Come to find out the boy who is pretty smart is having problems with reading. Now the boy hasn't been with us except for the last 18 months living with them after my son and his wife remarried. He is reading at a second grade level. I was shocked. I asked with in the hell does the school system pass kids when they are having problems? I hate it here because the teacher never calls if she is having problems with a child. I don't know why. The high school here is even worse. You can't call the teacher. You have to go through the principal for that grade. When you make an appoint to see the principal in that grade they can't tell you anything and they tell you to talk to the teacher. It is such a run around. I would tell people try to get invovled at your child's school. That is the only way you know how your child is doing. Now my grandkids are being picked up at 6:30 in the morning and get home at 3:40in the afternoon. I feel sorry for kids today in school. I already told my daughter-in-law if she is smart when it comes time for high school she will home school her daughter. Her own sister had problems in middle school with fighting and bullying (I have a feeling though she was part of the problem) and her mother homeschooled her starting the 8th grade. Our elementary school goes here to 8th grade. Good luck.
