Feelings

Ok, with 5 days left of school I was finally able to take 10 minutes and go to this wonderful place called Parent Connect.  Anne Arundel County has made a website where parents can go and check their child's grades.  It is wonderful if you're like my friend SG who told me that she checks it at least once a day.  I got my log in last year but was just able to get to the site yesterday.

Surprise surprise I found a whole LOT of missing assignments.  I contacted the guidance counselor to try to get with the teachers since grades are not final until mid-month.  When the counselor called me today she said that there wasn't much that could be done and that grades would be final next Wednesday since the teachers last day is next Wednesday.

Today was a talk therapy appointment.  I got to the school 15 minutes early and tried to talk with the teachers.  I was able to speak with her social studies teacher.  He gave me 2 assignments and said that was all that he could give me, I mentioned the 504 plan and he said that he had had weekly meetings with the students to tell them about their grade and any missing assignments.

There was a blow up in the car on the way to the talk therapy appointment and then there was storming out of the appointment and running down the hall.  The therapist says that her feelings run deep and she has trouble accessing just how she feels.  It took us an hour and half to get seen and leave.  It was not a good afternoon.

I can only hope that she turns in the work she did tonight when she gets to school tomorrow.
