It started within the last 5 years or so I think... I know all about it because my 15y.o. just got his permit.

Thanks for sharing Sunbunny. Great news to start a great Friday.

I don't get the whole license thing either - let parents police driving privileges in conjunction with a kid's academics.

(((hugs))) I hope your nerves are better than mine. My child scared me to death the first few months. I still need to take something for nausea when I ride with him.

Yeah, mine is too nervous... I think he's actually regressed a little lately, which is partly our fault, he hasn't had a chance to drive as much as I would have liked. I try very hard to be patient with him... it's hard for me to explain how to do certain things... driving just came naturally to me.

That's good news... i can't believe that they were being so harsh due to an illness.

I'm an educator. You won't believe how many students try to pull the "I was sick" excuse and werent really sick, just skipping. We've got all sorts of people breathing down our necks about accountability, etc. 9 times out 10 the administration just needs documentation and they'll reverse the failure. Without documentation, our hands are tied.

Oh I'm sure the excuses are rampant... but (and sunbunny will have to confirm this) I'm pretty sure she told us before that the school was giving them a hard time even with all the docs.

I believe it. And what pisses me off about it the most is the double standards. They'll fail you for attedance, but I can't give the kid the grade they earned because they don't want the kids at school failing.

Anyways, thats a topic for the tinderbox. I'm glad they let the boy pass.

Oh yeah, my wife's a teacher, I hear you... but you're right, not a discussion for this thread.

I still have nightmares that I have unfinished school work and I'm not going to graduate.

me too :(

i have dreams all the time where i realize i've failed something and am freaking out about my parents finding out

[Wither]

That's awesome.

But, dude, what is with all the texts and notes? Doesn't the school system call you?

[bleys]

I'm glad it's all working out for you. a shame they would try to hold him down even while he was succeeding through those obstacles..

[PanthaSan]

WOO HOO for teh Bunnay Family!

I hate when the admin. doesn't take into consideration that everything is not always cut and dried.

Besides, the only French that gets used a bunch is "I surrender."

[Johnny Rockets]

So Mono is real?

I always thought it was something that was made up like "night blindness" and "PMS".
