Speaking of Dumbed Down Education

Auteur's picture

I noticed this in the skids school district:

Homework prep and binder check is weighted EQUALLY with tests and quizzes.

Which artificially inflates grades.

If Junior has a binder check and if homework is being done by the BM or biodad, then that counts just as heavily as a quiz or test that Junior is taking all on his own.

In GG's kids case, they all get marks like 30, 43, 63 on tests and quizzes, yet they have "binder check" scores of 100. It's all averaged in and given the same weight!!!

O/T Day Four of my Walking Plan

Auteur's picture

I've started walking for an hour after work at the local school district.

It happens to be in an elementary/intermediate school with two floors.

I couldn't help noticing all the lovely handwriting essays on the wall. These were the 2nd graders and their handwriting was far superior to Venus De Milo's on her best day (she's 12 and in the 6th grade but failing miserably as usual)

Anyway, I'm viewing it as 5 hours a week to be alone with my thoughts and away from the miserable Godsgift.

So proud of hubby right now! Couldn't wait

My hubby just told me that he called our marraige counselor to meet with him this morning to discuss BM and her new new evil plan of separation (I love how baby momma intials also mean Bowel Movement.. He He He Blum 3 ) anyway I am so proud of him for trying to resolve our issues regarding her....for so long she has controlled my DH by dangling his boys in front of him... and he steps on everybodys feelings to get to them.

OT feeling deflated, used, stressed and like I am hauling the load

both me and my so were made redundant, he has been out of work since Jan and I am due to end my job in June but have already got a new job so will be kissing my redundancy goodbye. different story but related as it would have been about 6K we desparately needed.

anyway i have had a migraine for the last 3 days, i know that i am irritable but i am getting to the end my tether with SO.

He has been jobhunting, not as much as he can but hes been on a few interviews.
other than that he has been at home, half assing the housework and letting things pile up.

How many DHs feel this way? or have done it this way?

So during a discussion, DH says that he is just biding his time until the kids turn 18. As soon as his legal obligation to pay CS to BM for the kids, he wants to send her a "Have a nice day and F*** off!" card, and has zero intention of speaking to her unless totally necessary. He says the kids should be old enough by then to communicate directly with him, and if they choose to have nothing to do with him because of the need to choose their mom's side, then he is fine with that.

Enjoying the peace and reaping the rewards of Ex-wife's plan

Well most of you know that I am new here, but I posted a blog yesterday....I have a one year old and my C-section is next week! My DH ex wife decided to not allow thier 2 sons to come over anymore for a while...Ok this made me upset because I felt she was trying to separate me and my husband by only allowing him to visit the kids anywhere besides our home, and I told my husband he just wont be able to see them because we are a family and if she has concerns she is more than welcome to sit down with us and have a talk. But she declines....So guess what!

And...it happens....

Here we are...2 six weeks until the end of the school year. DH has said all school year that he would not pay for SD to attend summer school again this year (he just paid for her to go to summer school last summer). But, he found a way to pay for it in a round about way. Yesterday, he informed me that he told SD that she would pay for summer school herself. How? Her savings account. Her savings account that only he and his parents deposit money into. Her savings account that she doesn't have access to and never thinks of and therefore, doesn't seem real to her.

So the BM sent DH a picture on his phone..

Claiming that SD5 wanted a picture of her. Her hair and make-up were done and she was angling the camera so you couldn't see any of her fat parts. Smh.. your daughter, who calls you by your first name to everyone but you (and half the time to you too), does NOT want a picture of you trying to look slutty. Dumb.
