Oh, boy. I read through some more of Damon's social studies worksheets this morning. I think Howard Zinn wrote the curriculum. I wouldn't complain if he wrote half, and then someone with different opinions wrote the other half. Then there could be a debate going on at school, and maybe even thinking. "Don't believe everything you learn at school, Damon!" "Okay, Mom."
Claire didn't do so hot on her goals last week. If she doesn't reach her goals 4/5 days this week, she won't earn the gecko cage before Christmas break, which means loss of momentum and progress. She probably needs more in-class support. But, I have to have the permission of the principal to be that in-class support, and unfortunately, our school district superintendent, the guy who had my corner last year and helped me get Claire's aide in the classroom, is on paid leave and about to be fired, so if I have to go head-to-head with the principal again, it's going to be long (she avoids me like the plague) and probably ugly. Going to the superintendent last year was effective, but it wasn't a good way to make friends, if you know what I mean.
But Anne's doing well. Almost every day she gets of the school bus and says, "Today was a GREAT day!" Although most mornings she begs to be home schooled...
