I have an appointment at 1 with Aaron, 2 of his teachers, and a counselor.
Why?
Because they, the teachers and counselor, can't figure out simple problem solving.
Aaron transferred for teacher A's class into teacher B's class in November.
Teacher B gave Aaron a grade based on the entire class instead of only a portion, which means zeros for 33 assignments, which means a failing grade.
Counselor calls me last week, we figure out the problem in 3 minutes on the phone, Aaron is at school 30 minutes early for 3 days trying to talk to teacher B with this counselor to fix it.
Teacher is either not there or too busy, so counselor calls me, says teacher B wants a conference over this.
What? It's simple. Can't he just fix it?
Without the 33 missing assignments, Aaron has a 98.
I'm pretty sure this teacher isnt going to like what I have to say.
It's raining and cooler today, yay. That's sarcasm.
Anyway, hope you guys have a good day.

Today started off with such promise. I got up on time. I have on a cute dress. I was ready for the day. Then people started cheesing me off. Why is it so hard for people to do their own jobs?? And I finally got around to filling out my expense report for the last 2 months. And I got a look from the VP because I waited so long and we crossed into a new year. So sorry I run my @ss off getting everyone else's stuff done, I forgot about MY stuff. Sigh, I need a drink.
I got a ticket to tonight's Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. I wasn't planning to attend today's festivities, only tomorrow's. DH might go with me now.
It is supposed to rain tomorrow. I was planning to wear my red coat, but it's more of a ski jacket and bulky. I have a black and copper colored rain coat that is lined in wool I might wear instead. The hood stays on much better and keeps me dry. Red would make me stand out more, so the boys could look for me on TV. But then again, with the problems that might occur, blending in might not be a bad thing. Decisions, decisions.
Well, as you all know, my FIL passed away last month, and my MIL is having a difficult time being alone. So, I'm going to spend a long weekend with her.

You are a wonderful DIL.

Aaron has dug himself a hole he may not be able to climb out of.
Senioritis has totalled him.
He has messed around and failed the first semester of British lit., a required English course, and it will be next to impossible to bring the grade up enough to graduate.

Son#2 didnt graduate with his class because of failing one class. Between the teacher not working with us and my son not taking it all seriously enough, I didnt get to see my son graduate high school, walk down the isle and get a diploma. That is right. He wasnt even allowed to walk. TECHNICALLY he did graduate within a month later but it was all a moot point and too late for me to get over it. He retook the class and got his diploma 3 weeks after graduation, but that is besides the point.
I stopped having tears over it when a year later he graduated from Lincoln Tech and he got to wear cap and gown, walk and graduate welding school.
It will be ok mom. Plenty of folk dont graduate with their class and go on to have extremely successful careers. It just sucks that after 13 years in a system being promised a big rainbow party at the end that some schmuck teacher / kid can trip at the last second and take it all away from you. It is a milestone and one that is hard to get over missing.
edit: And tell me this someone.. WHY THE HECK DO THEY PUT EASY TO FAIL COURSES AT THE END OF A STUDENTS SCHOOLING KNOWING IF THEY FAIL THEY WILL NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE UP FOR IT TO GRADUATE?????!!!!!!!!!

Nope. Just me. We are going to take care of some financial and legal stuff tomorrow, and then do some cleaning out of the house and I'm going to help her set up a place to scrapbook in the house. On Saturday, my mom is driving across the state to have lunch with me.

Because by the time they are seniors they should be mature enough and motivated enough to do what they need to do to graduate. I mean, after all, they will then be entering the real world, and if they can't realize what they need to do by then, maybe they need to spend some extra time in school.

Cheerios, I don't think this is a case of being too hard.
This is a case of just not doing what needs to be done.
He is going to have to work his butt off and then he will probably still need to take a mini course to finish.
Watching him walk isn't the big issue for me.
I just want him to finish.
In Georgia, seniors also have 2 senior projects required.
One involves an English thesis, the other a career path explorative.
This replaced the exit exam.
Those are year long projects, along with regular course work.
It's a lot, but it's doable.

Sorry the meeting didn't go as planned, Lily, but it sounds like Jesse is responsible for not doing his job. He will learn.
On an up note, I have both TV's set to FOX for all the inaugural hoopla!
Take that all you lesser channel news stations.
I refuse to mention the idiot stations by name.
Not Jesse, Aaron.
Jesse graduated last year.
But, yes.
Aaron has done this to himself.

Shoot. I printed something before I left work, and left it on the printer. It's something that is relatively confidential and is sitting on the communal printer. I'm trying to decide if I should drive in to grab it and lock it up. Or hope I beat everyone to work in the morning.

I would drive in and grab it. Better safe than sorry.

I did. Fortunatly I only live 12 minutes from the plant. Unfortunately, I ran into the overly chatty janitor and got stuck there for 20 minutes.
