Ok, need some input. Dd is having trouble with one teacher and the attendance woman at school. Tell me what you think. Her history teacher spoke very snotty to her today, told her she doesn't have a snowball's chance in h*ll of passing. When dd said something about making it up in summer school, this woman got very sarcastic and said, "well then, don't bother to do the work, why even come to class?" Now, dd is trying so hard to pass all her classes, and history is her favorite subject. Does she need this attitude from her teacher? And, the attendance woman is giving her a hard time about her doctor's notes, saying they aren't "specific enough" so she gives dd an UNexcused for two whole weeks that she was off for her "rear" surgery!! The surgeon's note said dd could return to school when she could sit comfortably for an extended period, and dd's classes are an hour and a half long! This idiot says to dd, well you could have stayed out six months with that note! Dd said, but I didn't, did I? (Good for her!) Same thing about her sinus and ear infection two weeks ago, note said return to school when temp stays below 100, and it was still 99.6 when dd went back. Again, UNexcused! I swear, I'm going to strangle someone, and it's NOT dd!!! Poor kid doesn't need this garbage! Keep in mind, her grade drops one letter for every five days unexcused! Sooo...I called and gave the assistant principal a piece of my mind, and he's going to talk to Ms. History. Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!
To top it all off, dd saw the surgeon today and guess what! We get to go through it all AGAIN!!! Cyst is back, there's a small hole at the incision site, not the huge cavern she had after the first surgery, thank God. We're going to try to hold off until school is out, as long as it "doesn't get out of hand", he says. Could we catch a break here, Lord??? All I can say is, those Thunder from Down Under boys had better watch out, I'm ready for a wild and crazy time!!! Look out, Vegas!!
Well, never a dull moment here, I'm going back to work tomorrow, just to get some rest!
Hugs to everyone!!!!! Pam

One piece of advice...those teachers and attendance people have superiors...EVERYBODY has A BOSS! I learned when DD was teaching school that if there is a problem that you feel is not being handled properly or being resolved in a decent manner, you have the RIGHT and PRIVLEDGE to take that problem to the Board of Education at the school OR register a complaint to the STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION! Believe me, almost every school official would do ANYTHING to not have a complaint sent to the State Board of Education! Remember, that school is there for your CHILD and that teacher is a paid EMPLOYEE! Don't let them bamboozle you!
Sorry to hear that DD is having more "rear end trouble" so to speak. Hopefully she can hang on till school is out and then get it taken care of totally.
Hang in there girl! As Harry Truman said..."Give'em Hell!"

All I could ever do was keep going to the VP, because no one else was going to advocate for my DD. (this was the one who was PG her senior year...we had all sorts of problems on top of that...the school sec didn't like that she wasn't participating in PE 7-9 mo along(?!)) Good grief!
I guess what I'm saying is, that I think many of those people have too much power, or think that they do. And they like to use it to put up barriers, etc. for the students. I think they get a charge out of it.

I do keep you and your family in my prayers. It must be totally different to be handling all of this on your own. My hat goes off to you, girl. BIG HUGS my friend. ..Free
About the corset about 20 years ago after my back surgery I had to buy one and paid 75. for it... that blew me away but seeing as I had to wear it all the time for months guess it was not too bad.
Hang in there!
hugs, Lor
