| | Unfortunately, my lovely teenage daughter failed 2 year-long classes in school this year, so I get to pay $360 for her to do summer school to make up 2 semesters of the four she failed.  There goes my Vegas money.
I'm pissed, she's non-repentant, her dad (in GA) is mad at her, her dad (here) is not talking to her... it's ****.
She's always been my *good* student. Always turned homework in, always did what she was told in school (not at home, mind you), was the perfect example of a child who could have fun and love school at the same time. I don't know where she went. If anyone knows, could you please tell whatever alien that abducted her that I'd like her back, please!?!?!?! |

If you don't want it happening again....Make the kid earn the money and pay for the classes herself! Send her a post card from Vegas and let her know what a good time you are having with the money you aren't paying for her goofing off. Went through stuff like that with my son his first year of college.....after one semester of taking his hard earned money to pay for classes, he decided he better do something else.

| | Hehe, you guys are funny... we're so on the same wave length. Unfortunately, I can't make her do anything over the summer to earn the money for summer school because she'll be in Georgia with her bio dad. I get her for the school year, he gets her for the summer. It's that way because we live 3000 miles apart. I'm sure that he and she would like to see each other more often than that...
Anyhow, her summer school is through the district's internet academy... unfortunately in our district, you must make up as much as you can in the summer after the failure. Her bio dad knows that I want him on her back all summer about failing and he's planning on making sure she doesn't slack off. The biggest problem is that he's supporting his mother and his wife and two children as well, so doesn't have a lot of extra money to pay her for doing stuff. Last year she was able to earn a ton of money by being a quasi-caretaker of her grandma, but he isn't sure she'll be able to do that this year. Oh well... I did tell her that if she doesn't get it done and keep her grades up to par next year that we'll pull her out and homeschool like we do with the other kids. It's a privilege for her to go to public school. Homeschooling is a lot tougher on them because I expect way above the standards set by the state.
I really hope you all have a great time! |
