Back in the 90's I fought the school 'tooth & nail' about promoting my daughter out of Grade 10. She skipped school more than half the time, was failing virtually everything!! They wouldn't listen . She did graduate - it was bittersweet, since I didn't have any confidience anymore in what education she actually had!!BethinBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650819397499117359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040734.post-66444434006163287152010-01-03T00:58:48.114-08:002010-01-03T00:58:48.114-08:00I agree with you so thoroughly and completely that...I agree with you so thoroughly and completely that my fingers are trembling and I'm having to go back and correct almost every word.

I refuse to let my kids live in that much of a bubble and although many parents frown upon me I am teaching my kids to suck it up and move on!! Life is what you make of it not how you complain about it!!<br />BuffyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040734.post-57311100940403340092010-01-02T12:36:35.460-08:002010-01-02T12:36:35.460-08:00Amen!
