Rain delay
Update...
Today, opening day for the Cleveland Indians baseball team - I awoke to it being practically black out (and inside considering my mood) - just feel so bleh - so tired, so lack luster....
It's raining and dreary and damp and so it goes with my spirits.
My 15 minutes of fame has been delayed (they did not run the article nor our ad for the class - it will run next week or so the paper announced). That's OK I truly don't care if my words or my picture (LOL ESPECIALLY my picture) runs in the local rag - I really don't - I want the class to be a success. So far, we already have 5 students and that's a good start.
My son might not be graduating high school - great. This is nuts. He's a bright kid he's just deciding to wage war against his English teacher who is getting ready to retire, apparently hates seniors, and has nothing to lose by flunking him. He does not seem to understand in the case of a tie the student usually loses. He is being obnoxious to her. He does well on the tests but misses some homework. His grades went from a C, to a D and now to an E (yes kids that's right they don't give 'F's' anymore - C2 suggested it might be too traumatic - he's going to really know what traumatic means if he does not graduate, cause I am going to land him in the trauma unit at the hospital). It's like I can't get him to listen to me - his dad is worthless and I don't know what to do. Spoke with his counselor who suggested I talk with the teacher. My issues are her comment to him about how if he had handed in ONE MORE ASSIGNMENT he'd have gotten a D! WTF???? Is she kidding?????? He's a senior with lots to do besides English homework and one assignment broke his grade? How the fuck does that work? Then he told me 1/2 the class is flunking....1/2??? That's way too many kids flunking a class. The counselor confirmed this - but he also told me the kids flunking 'deserve' it - I am in such a quandary (actually my son is) cause it's not about me it's about him. The teacher has been told to call me and we are going to have to have a meeting and I don't care if he ends up hating me - he's going to have to pull his ass out of this slump and get at least a D - how mortifying....
