Y'all, shoot me now.

I talked to the mom on the phone about her kid's schedule.(Post below about held back kid)

We decided on his schedule.

Dad just came to talk about his schedule because he didn't agree with mom's decision. Mom and dad are married, but dad wants it his way.

Say What? Could you work this out before hand. So, I had to explain the same thing that I told mom to dad, because he didn't agree.

    As much as I am in awe of you for dealing with students, I think dealing with parents makes you one step away from sainthood.

    A woman in my old lady club was telling us about her granddaughter being held back.  The school told them at the end of last year that they thought she should repeat the 1st grade.  Mom knew this but just expected the issue to go away over the summer.  They drop her off for the 2nd grade last week.  The school calls their house to let them know that they have delivered her back to the 1st grade.   Dad is the one who answered the phone.  His wife never told him about any of this last year so he flips out, marches to the school and demands that his child be put back in the 2nd grade.  He lost in the end, but he put up a brave (read: total idiot) fight.

    Grandma went on and on about how proud she was of him for standing up for his daughter, blah, blah, blah.  Oh yeah, because schools just LOVE to hold kids back.  They gain so much out of this. Of course they were just trying to take advantage of a little girl and pull a quick one over on her parents.

    It seems to be coming more from dad, but mom is on board.

    He is still repeating the grade, but they want certain teachers and THEY WANT HIM TO HAVE 8TH GRADE LUNCH.


    Yes, I'm yelling. You can't have 8th grade lunch if you are in the 7th grade.


    So, the PE teacher tells his kids to eat during 8th grade lunch, so this is the only way it's going to work. He has to have PE during 5th period.


    I need a drink.
