Sounds like you handled the situation well. Congrats.

Karen,
First off, am just completely floored by your ex... but then again, that could be why he's your ex...
Secondly, it sounds like the meeting went well, albeit, four on one... Keep us posted on how things progress...
*hugs*

oh karen.... you are such an awesome mom!! phooey to all those stupid, mindless, lazy SOB ex-Hs out there, who can't be bothered to show an interest in their children.
good for you to telling that teacher off , for standing up to her in such a logical way.
Thanks for the kudos!

Your whole story has me really steamed 'cause I'm a teacher (and a parent). My kids also have hours of stupid, vapid "work" to complete in order to "learn to manage their time". Also, all the projects bug me- they are so elaborate and need lots of parent involvement. Do your kids have these too? Visitation issues intrude and complicalte completion of these projects (last time both the ex and I bought the materials because we each thought we had to do the project...). You have taught your daughter several important things by resonding to her situation- that you are there to help when she needs you, that you value her education, that when something is wrong a person must stand up for what they think is right, and that teachers and school systems sometimes make mistakes too.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!... I'm not so sure this battle is over, but I'm giving the teacher an opportunity to make things right.

No offense... in fact, that is why I was so quick to get her in counseling in the 3rd grade--she had a great teacher, but this woman constantly pushed and challenged her... too much, ya know.... you can do that too much.
