it would seem becca has a crush. it's very cute. she is getting the appropriate amount of teasing from the whole family! she got an A on her math, spelling and history tests last week. she got one of the higher grades in the class on her SC history test. HUGE boost to her confidence. they are now introducing adjectives. she claims she learned that in 1st grade. so she is coming along so much better in school this week.
there are more issues with cfhs (carolina forest high). turns out, there are issues not only with biology, but spanish and one other class that escapes me right now. okay, they are telling her she had to retake 3 full-year courses, will be classified as a frosh again BUT it won't impede her graduation track at all. this makes no sense to me. she will not even be able to go to assemblies next year with the sophomores. so any friends she will make, she will be separated from.
i have spoken with her counselor from mhs, and she gave me three options to pursue. cfhs, seems to like to say "we can't". been here a week and i am sick of hearing it. so...............i am making an appointment to meet with her guidance counselor so she can give me IN WRITING how this works. i am thankful to have some options in my pocket to combat her "we can'ts". the courses are offered online from byu, u of missouri and a program called PLATO that deals with credit recovery. it may cost us $200 bucks per class (ouch) but, she WILL stay on the track she has worked so hard to put herself on.
no worries, i will get it handled. i couldn't work on it last week. being the first week the kids were in school, last week was spend just trying to maintain! the big challenge for me will be to get this done while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. wish her, uh, i mean me, luck!!
