Teeny tiny rant

Having Oldest in a class with two teachers is a struggle in itself. I think they're both probably great teachers. They both seem enthusiastic about teaching. But when they only work every-other day, I'm not sure they really get the full picture of what's going on with each child. Mine, for one. They both have said they'd keep us informed. I could count on one hand the number of times they've contacted us. Once when he'd gotten in trouble for stealing from the bookfair (gotta love peer-pressure). Twice when he was vastly behind in turning in assignments.

The latest and greatest is this quote from a (parent-initiated) email from the teacher:

"I want to start by letting you know we really enjoy having him in our class. He has a great attitude and is a great kid... [He] is easily distracted in class and his attention span seems limited at times. He is quick to refocus with reminders."


Yeah. Do you think perhaps that limited attention span could have to do with his ADHD diagnosis? Maybe? Breathe in. Breathe out. Let go of the snarky attitude. Moving on :)
