Printed DD12 Math scores for February. There is a trend that I don't understand. The scores on her papers are either excellent or flunked. Her test scores are all excellent. This makes me think that she is intentionally not turning in her papers (aka receiving zero score) or only doing partial (score in the 30-50's). Why? Where oh where is that child raising instructional manual???
Update on DD12 math scores. She explained what happened and how it had been resolved. She struggled with understanding some new algebra concepts and PROCRASTINATED on doing the problems because she didn't feel like she could do them perfectly. She understands them now and is confident in math again. She knows she has options if she doesn't understand or struggles - I will find her a tutor, mentor, and other resources anytime she needs them.
DS15 had an unusual mouthy attitude toward me for the past several days. I don't allow disrespect, so each mouthy episode was immediately responded to but it kept happened over and over. It came to a head today with me telling him to load up in vehicle because I was done putting in effort without appreciation. I informed him that I was going to make my life easier by enrolling him in public school. DS15 did an immediate attitude pivot and begged crying pleading with me to give him another chance. After some discussion I agreed to continue homeschooling him. Where oh where is that child raising instructional manual???
DS15 has ripped or stained every pair of jeans he has. I couldn't find any jeans in the city today so I came home and ordered some. DS15 doesn't care if his jeans are ripped and seems to actually enjoy wearing the torn jeans. However he goes on a mission trip in a couple weeks, and I REALLY don't want him going in ripped jeans. Pick you battles....this is one that I'm picking.
