Today was really disheartening. We had parent teacher conferences for the girls and while we knew that there had been some struggles with tests recently, we were not really prepared for what is not happening at home for them. Homework not being completed consistently, glasses not coming to school when they are supposed to be worn at all times, sheets not getting signed. The school has asked for a pair of glasses to be left there for her. How bad is that??
The effort that we put forth is undermined by the fact that no one else wants to continue with it. We only get so much time with the girls, and we want some of it to be family time too. Not just make up for study time and learning that they are missing the rest of the week. What are we to do? Below grade level reading, needing extra help in math and reading, are we to ignore that they really need the help?
I am a firm believer that education is so important. More important is actually being an informed and involved parent. I don't care that I didn't give birth to these girls. I will always hope and fight alongside Jerod to give them everything that they need. I just don't understand how this is an issue, and why it isn't being addressed by the school district honestly.
How many times do we have to call children's services and the principal to get someone to do something for these girls.
I pray to god that the court will do something this time.
