Mid-Term

Last week the kiddos had mid-term grades sent home... Walker's first ever grades posted for Middle School...

Lovely huh... an F in Science of all things!  Parent Teacher conferences were scheduled a couple days later but of course I was all over finding out what exactly happened since Walker's response was, "I don't know... I turned everything in... she didn't say anything to me!"

Long story short... I had 5 emails back and forth to his teacher and it was resolved... he actually had a B in the class... his teacher didn't enter in some redo assignments before returning them to him (she's new this year) and he didn't question the fact that no new grade was listed on the corrections!!  It was a good life lesson to remind him to be active in his education... ask questions, find out where to put things for corrections, if you run out of time for an assignment don't just turn it in... find out if you can take it home for homework or can go in early to finish.
