Frustrations

I just need to get this out.  I am really frustrated with my children's school. I have now met with one of the teachers in person, and had another teacher tell me all is going well  and that I don't need to meet with her.
However I feel a very distinct lack of communication here.  Guy came home from school today with a huge workbook, some pages are ripped out, because it has the work sheets that they have done for homework, pulled from it.  He tells me he is supposed to do the whole work book.  However there is nothing else that says this is the case.  Also in his homework for today there are no worksheets on this subject, and the assigned sheets aren't in the book either.  OK I will send a note back and ask the teacher about it.  That is what she told me to do if I had questions.

He is continuing to have behavior issues, but he either won't or can't tell me what he did to get marked down.

Then there is a form telling me I need to complete their school registration on-line.  However the form was written pertaining to the beginning of the school year, and so finding the link I need, is impossible.

Then they tell me that they want emergency contact info for preferably family members.  HELLO, we don't have any family around here.  I don't think contacting any of our extended family is going to really help in an emergency.


I know I am probably making a bigger deal out of things than I need to, but I am feeling stressed, and so I just wanted to get that out.  Now I need to get back to helping them do their homework.

Love and prayers for you. You are doing everything possible to make this a good experience. And, you are close to the spirit and have the faith to follow those promptings. I have confidence you will do what is best for your family. It sounds like a really frustrating situation, but instead of just giving up, you are looking at different possibilities and what the implications would be. You are a very smart Mama!

Just use a friend in the ward as your emergency contact. Tell the teacher you want specific documentation of the child's markdowns so you can help with the misbehaviors at home. They should not just respect that but be grateful for it.

Sorry for your frustrations. A blog is a great place to vent though.
