Just something quick, or that’s the plan…
Harley’s first week…I hated not being able to be here to get him off the bus each day…Really hated that three of those days he had to got to his father’s afterwards.
BUT…It was a pretty good week for him. He had two days that he had a bit of trouble. In gym class, during dodge ball. He has trouble when he gets out in a game. [Gee, another reason to get rid of elimination games in gym class.] But, he talked to someone right away, and calmed down enough that he could actually return to the game! That is an accomplishment. I think, since the teachers and staff are use to it, and have learned how to deal with the issues, they know how to defuse them and get the students back on track. My theory anyway…If that is the case…& this is how it continues to go…It was the right decision.
He earned money for the school store, a little over $2.00…He got to go on Friday. & to prove it’s not about physical gain & what kind of toys he can get…He chose to use his money to buy a snocone. (I so want a snocone.)
Morning is rougher on me than him I think! *laughs* He gets up pretty good, gets dressed, and is in a fairly good mood. Me, I’m tired. I really need to start getting to bed sooner, since I know I have to be up before 6…& yeah, I get a ‘nap’ after he leave till I have to get Sonja up…But it’s not always easy (read never) to get back to sleep, and it’s not a long nap at all to begin with.
Upon picking them up yesterday, Harley points to a bruise on this leg. He said he accidentally got in the Idiot’s way, and he kicked him & yelled in his face about being in the way!
I tried to take a picture of the bruise, but it’s so light, it doesn’t show up. I’m defiantly including this in the letter I am going to be writing. Both Critters are so miserable about going there. There has to be something that can be done. There has to be someone they can talk to…*sigh*
School Stuff:
Done with the 4 lesson plans for the part of the semester.
Got all my points for my research paper & presentation…Despite a weak ending to the paper & shaking like a leaf during the presentation.
No clue about the group project. It was turned in as far as I know. We are suppose to demonstrate it in class, but the one guy didn’t bother to show up in class Thursday when we were suppose to do it…So the teacher postponed it, and made us do even weight-loss yoga, which I’m STILL hurting from.
I have a quiz to do sometime before Wednesday.
We have to do 2 website reviews per class…But they can be typed up in a single paper per class…If that makes sense. Anyway…Need to find the websites I’m going to use for that.
We have another assignment that keeps getting postponed because he has to bring in the materials, and the guy that was suppose to get the materials for him still hasn’t brought them for him!
Then there is the food/nutrion stuff…Which, still tracking my eating/exercise…Which both are pretty pathetic…I do eat, maybe not the best things in the world, but I have been trying to get better. But even 2000 calories is hard for me to get to. I just don’t require a lot of stuff. *shrugs*
& there is something about a diet comparison…*shrugs*
Okay, this got longer than I was expecting..
Some kids are just not made for out cookie-cutter education system. It lets the people who need help most sort of coast along, barely passing, because economics require social promotion and overworked teachers don’t have the time it would take to really boost their learning; high-achievers are slowed down and bored by the class pace; and it’s an absolute breeding ground for the “Mean Girls” social hierarchy, which leaves some students emotionally damaged, and sometimes in a way that keeps them from loving to learn. The apathy or lack of ability to intervene from the staff is just as damaging as the bullies.
