Finally angry with the school system
Lexington Middle School got a new principal this year and she is a woman. Not that it matters. I got home last night and had received a letter in the mail from Creston's school informing me that he had missed an "excessive" amount of days and that if we didn't correct the problem she would turn me in to DHS and/or Truancy Officials because I was neglecting my child of an education. HOT!!! I am very HOT!!! Attached to the letter was the request for the 6 days off for Josh's funeral. First of all, in eight years of school, Creston has pulled 2 B's and all A's. He also misses an average of 3 days of school for the entire school year, he's on student council and the list goes on. He isn't failing, and isn't neglected....if they only knew the amount of time Jord and I put into the kid's school work so they can become better educated. As you can tell....I'm a little angry. I called the principal this morning and she is at a conference. So, I'm calling the School Board-it just so happens that the President of the School Board was Kat's softball coach for 5 years and his daughter is friends with Kat. I just find it hard to believe that they would accuse parents of neglect when their kids are pulling straight A's.....I'm done venting....hope eveyone has a good weekend....we will be at softball games. Oh...and on a lighter note....Janice is going out with a brother from the OKC and is bringing him down to meet us this weekend. First time for this....she's never brought anyone home for us to meet...kind of exciting. I hope we like him...that's the Mom in me coming out.

woweee! I can feel the heat, turn it up, its a little chilly up here. Yehaw for Janice hope its good news.
that is annoying...women...hehehe its good to vent. wow thats exciting about janice whats his name? do i know him?
His name is Michael Cole. And just for all the Mom's out there...I did receive a phone call yesterday and an apology from the Principal.
I do not blame you one bit for getting steamy. I about blew my top when the school sent home a little warning/threat to contact a truancy officer, thats when you want to tell them to buzz off, to put it nicely :) *hopefully this M.C. will pass your approval ;)
if it's pre-planned and the work gets made up, where's the truancy??? just walk through the halls at school to see a few neglected kids, they sure ain't ours....
I will just say this. You do not want to be at the wrong end of the phone with Momma Kerri. I don't know what was said, but I do know that the principal was interrupted during a conference by her boss, the superintendent, with direct orders to call this very upset Mrs. Wilson. Which she did promptly. Yikes!
Whoa! or Yikes Im glad i was not the one on the other end of the phone---ridiculous people & their strategies to get their nose in personal family's business! Glad you received an apology & glad you called. I bet they wont mess w/the Wilson family again!
