At the start of the school year, I feel like Cinderella
Yesterday, I actually had homework in all of my daughter's high school classes
I had to read and sign and date all kinds of forms
Forms that indicated that:
I have read the school rules
I am aware my daughter has read the school rules
I know my daughter must follow the school rules
Don't be late to class
Respect other students
Turn in homework on time
What is this?
She's in High School
NOT KINDERGARTEN!
She can read and sign all this herself
Why am I signing to let her teachers know I know what she is doing?
I am assuming that YES, they DO get that many complaints and excuses from parents
GOOOOOOOD GRIEEEEEEEF
I even had to help my daughter fill out a questionnaire about what it means to have self-respect, have respect for others, and for a teacher to respect students
SERIOUSLY?
WHY???
I do NOT remember my parents having to fill out such forms for me.
I get the medical forms, in case of emergency forms, and requests for volunteers
But I do NOT get this!
I felt like Cinderella all afternoon, writing notes about when the kids would be absent due to religious reasons this fall (without pre-authorization, they may not be able to make up missed work), writing to the P.E. department to let the teachers know what my daughter can and cannot do with her scoliosis body brace (why can't she just tell them - are they seriously going to mark her grade down because she has no flexibility in her spine?), checking homework, getting supplies at Staples (where, I may add the checkout line reached from the front of the store all the way to very back of the store), cooking dinner, cleaning, laundry, etc.
CINDERELLA!!!!
Now WHEN can I go to the DANCE?
Cinderella's Challenge Giclee Print is On SALE all weekend
for Labor Day
Get it?
GO GET IT!
Toodles,
Binky
