This morning, Lexie asked me to sign her agenda (which is normal) but also had a CYA paper from her teacher Mr. Young. Every time she gets a "U" (they don't give F's--U is for unacceptable) he stamps the paper with a parent signature box. That way he makes sure the parent knows, and he's covered in doing his job. Well, this has been a weekly (sometimes multiple!) thing. I explain this is her last year of grade school. I explain how important consistent good grades are. I explain how this leads you into a chain of Middle school, High school, College, Job, and the financial quality of your future. I explain how school is her most important job. I ask if her homework is done when I get home. If its not, I tell her to do it. I tell her to let me know if she needs help. I tell her if she needs me to explain something, I will, but I will NOT do it for her. I put the responsibility 100% on her, but make sure she knows I will help explain something (if I can understand it myself).
She got upset. I saw thst Logan left his mask/hat thing on the loveseat so I decided to take it to him. Plus Theresia told me there was no school on Monday or Tuesday, so I signed them up for CEP. Then I asked to speak to Lexie's councillor. She was dressed up as a jackass. She said they would start an evaluation process. We'll see where this goes.
