Have you ever just had one of those nights? I am having one right now. I cannot sleep. No real reason. I got hungry ate and now I am wide awake. So I thought it would be a good time to catch you up on everything. Not much going on around here.
The nut is being an ass. He was almost an hour late bring them home yesterday. Then he was rude to me and making snide comments because I was upset that he called me 15 minutes after he was supposed to be dropping them off to say they were running late. Hello! He knew before I left for the Drop off that he was not going to make it. It only takes about 2 hours to drive up here. SO he had to have left late. Do you want to know what really makes me mad about it?! When he called, he would not tell me excatlly were he was. Then when I tried to ask him questions he would give answers that made no sense and then laugh. For example when I asked, "When do you think you will get here?" His answer was, "Yes, I am going to be there." LAUGH! He knew he was not answering the question. He knew he was trying to make me upset. Then he tells Sean when he gets to the drop off, "I haven't been late in a few months." Like that is supposed to make it all better. It is his habit to be late as much as possible and to waste as much of my time as he can. I am trying not to let him get to me.
Then kids came back a little hyper and tired. Mr. A went to bed early because he wanted to go to bed. Ms. G went to bed early and fell asleep almost before prayers were done. I am glad they have a good time. I just wish it was not so disruptive to their sleeping and eating schedules.
Tuesday is parent/teacher conferences. I am not worried about Ms. G's. I love her teacher this year. She is doing great. Hopefully A/B honor roll. IF not real close. Mr. A's teacher and I disagree on somethings. I think she is not very good match for him. I think he gets on her nerves. I do not think she picks on him, I just think he highlights her pet peeves. I will explain what I mean. She doesn't like touching. I do not think I have seen her hug a child. Well, Mr. A has to touch people when he talks. So, he gets into trouble. Things like that. He seems to get into trouble a lot. But it all seems to be little things. Like throwing mulch on teh playground. That should not be why you have a "very BAD day." First graders do that. You (as a teacher) should address it right then and sit him out. Not give him the worst possible day without going to the office. It was not like he was not listening to the teacher, once told to stop, he did. This has been going on since the second day of school. When he got a "good day" not a "great day", because he did a worksheet wrong and ended up not finishing it. When I asked him about it he told me, "I did not understand and the teacher said no one could ask her questions about it b/c everyone kept trying to come up to her." Hello! It is the second day of school! She also misses great opportunities to make parents feel good about thier child. I went in to school Friday to get the kids form Kids Club. I ran into her. This was a great time for her to say some thing about Mr. A having a good week. When Mr. A said hi then I said hi she just kindda blew us off like she did not want to talk to us. The last thing is I do not like how she handled having one of her students go back to Kindergarten. She told her class that this child had to go back because his parents could not read first grade homework and the homework in Kindergarten was easier to read. OMG! Not only is this so off base that It pissed me off but Mr. A was held back in Kindergarten and now he is confused why he was. She just rubs me the wrong way.
I will have to get you caught up on Halloween later. I am having a hard time getting the pictures. They are on Sean's camera. The kids were so cute. Mr. A was a pirate. Ms. G was Elizabeth Swan.
Other than that we are just waiting for A. Hopefully it will be real soon. Like today!
