So today I get a call from my son's school telling me that. He is not showing up to 8th hour. 8th hour is kinda like a study hall/ detention that takes place after their last class. After having met with most of Colton's teachers and the school psychologist we had all agreed that he would attend 8th hour everyday. Not so much as a form of punishment but as a forum for him to get extra help completing his assignments, etc. The call I received was informing me that my son has not been showing up to these classes and that they were putting him on a "contract" that stated if he missed ONE more they were going to suspend him from school for 3 days, the next offense would be 5 days suspension or expulsion from the school. Are you God damn Freakin kidding me? SO I called the psycholgist and told her I really felt that he WAS in fact showing up to these classes and that we needed to get it straightened out. I have not heard back from her. But, Tell me something. Why in the HELL would they suspend a kid from school that doesn't WANT to be in school? Isn't that giving him exactly what he wants?
Anyhow, so I get home and grill the kid. I DO believe he has been in this 8th hour. Or maybe I am just stupid, I dunno.
Oh and to top it all off. I found out that he has been watching TV anyways even though I have removed that priviledge from him (he forgot to shut off the DVR). I am so beside myself right now I can't even think straight so here I am blabbing about all of it. Its all I can do to not cry from being so incredibly frustrated.
