Elijah

Ok, I just had to get this off my mind, it is driving me crazy.  Elijah has been doing terrible in school.  He hated kindergarten last year, but likes school this year, but his teacher says he won't do his work for her.   She put on his progress report that he might be held back.


Well, I have been working with him this weekend on his writing skills and in his first grade workbook.  He works for me no problem, no complaint, does it smiling and with bells on!   He zipped through addition and subtraction pages.   It is so cute to see him counting on his fingers for subtraction, I used to do that when I was little too...wait...I still do that, lol.


Anyhow, I am just frustrated.  Why does the florida school system have to suck so badly.  I mean, i think 22 kids (last time I heard of and can remember) is too many for 1 teacher  she doesn't even have an aide!  My dear husband spent a day in his class and said it was total chaos in Elijah's class. 


All I can say is...please pray this gets resolved, that he can do well in school, whether it be his teacher or him...something needs to happen and happen soon.


On another note, Christian is doing much better in school, his grades are up and he takes it way more seriously.
