There is nothing I cannot stand more than cadillac escalade drivers that think other cars are bugs that need smashing. Jerk. And then I freaked hoping it wasn't a coworker that I would run into at one time or another it was in a food court lot near work. But even if I did I would probably still give her a piece of my mind. Sorry for my rant but you brought it up. hehe. It's so hard parenting as it is and those people need to be starved.

Perfect attendance is just that perfect, a perfect grade is 100% not 99%. So we have gone to Exemplary Attendance to allow for those 1/2 day kinds of things, 1 hour ortho appointments, bloodwork, flat tire. the most frustrating thing is the kid who comes to school every day when they should have stayed home sick. I don't know of anyone who wants to hang around their sick co-worker,when the sick co-worker chooses to come into work. Teachers have no choice but to hang around these sick kiddos, when they should really be home. I love Exemplary Attendance for that reason!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025635433379585855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11839402.post-69009295044628194102007-12-15T10:32:00.000-06:002007-12-15T10:32:00.000-06:00I totally hear ya on the whole school thing Simone...I totally hear ya on the whole school thing Simone! What a shame that they penalize a child for something like that!! I've had some of my own struggles with my daughter as she has some issues and the schools just don't "get" it..plus, is it every school who has a crabby lady in the front office?? Is it a requirement for the job?

Feel your son's pain & agree, it's not fair. My son had a perfect year of attendance until the last 5 days, he got hit in the face with a baseball when he was at bat & had to go to the hospital to get checked, the doctor wanted to operate on his nose before he even looked at xray so we wanted a second opinion so the next day he had another doc's appointment & missed school. No need for operation according to other doc. Poor kid wanted that perfect attendance at least once. Never did get it.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358138356808778820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11839402.post-66038926892206974742007-12-14T15:51:00.000-06:002007-12-14T15:51:00.000-06:00that i pure BULLSHIT!!!ASSHOLES!!!!i am off to che...that i pure BULLSHIT!!!<BR/>ASSHOLES!!!!<BR/><BR/>i am off to check out noel's site<BR/>and all the other links you have as well put upGreta Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739898628844525083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11839402.post-75629760716710662472007-12-14T14:32:00.000-06:002007-12-14T14:32:00.000-06:00ummm, yah, don't you just love the school secretar...ummm, yah, don't you just love the school secretaries??? i never understand why they work at schools, since they act like they hate children!!!<BR/>ugh, sorry for that awful experience...i would have yelled at her too :)emily andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109400321082241146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11839402.post-38494441634055192772007-12-14T14:24:00.000-06:002007-12-14T14:24:00.000-06:00It's ok to vent....that really stinks. I remember...It's ok to vent....that really stinks. I remember that "perfect attendance" award too, and feeling so disappointed when I got sick. That shouldn't exist anywhere! I mean, really, give me a break that you get an award for not getting sick. Or needing help in some other facet of life. Can you maybe put those awards out for kids who actually make a special effort in some area or show compassion to someone or improve their marks??? Way to make a kid stress about something that really doesn't much matter.<BR/>And no, I don't get those stamps either. Actually there are a few companies out there that I don't get. But the new Amuse stamps are SUPER cute!<BR/>Babble babble, have a great weekend...Tanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289603398993443358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11839402.post-83848350084788169822007-12-14T14:16:00.000-06:002007-12-14T14:16:00.000-06:00oh girl!i'm misty-eyed for ya.poor maxie (i always...oh girl!<BR/>i'm misty-eyed for ya.<BR/>poor maxie (i always call him maxie in my head when he does something cute or deserves a hug. he'll prolly hate me for life if you tell him that ;)<BR/><BR/>that policy is just bullshit. and you know what, i'd be tempted to contact the school board. if you have a dr.'s excuse then its excused. hence the whole "dr's EXCUSE". i don't get schools now a day.<BR/><BR/>wanna move down south????<BR/>we got good schools down here.<BR/><BR/>*mwah*<BR/><BR/>oh, i don't get the stamps either.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970441661208173184noreply@blogger.com
