I had to just roll my eyes

I checked the Skids electric grades today and saw they were both missing a lot of assignments. I printed it all out and gave it to BF.

SS8's teacher was out for an emergency about a month ago for two weeks and when I emailed her today about his missing assignments, she explained that her fiance had surgery and she would be out until Thursday. She did say she would send me is missing assignments then. Very kind of her. She doesn't have to let him make up the work.

So on the ride home from work BF is complaining that she isn't at work. Going on and on about how can they expect SS to behave and get his work done if the teacher is never there and SS says she's only been there for "like two weeks this year" Yeah right.

Just more excuses for SS's bad behavior and not doing his work. After about 5 minutes of listening about poor SS and his horrible teacher taking time off work, I had enough. So I said, what about last year and the year before that and the year before that when he was horrible in school and never did any homework.

"Well that was then, this is this year."

Well excuse me. I didn't realize that he was bad every year of his life in school but would have been a model student this year if not for that horrible teacher actually having a life besides teaching. Damn Teacher.

I'm still trying to understand if he's trying to convince me or himself.

In 6th and 7th grade, SD13 blamed everyone and everything else under the sun for her missing assignments. Now she is in 8th grade and did well last quarter. In September, SD13 "forgot" to hand in an essay and her overall grade went down to 54%. I spoke up and told DH and he had the nerve to ask ME why I didn't tell him sooner?! He knew I had backed off of SD13 last summer and I was not going to be helping her with school anymore. She had lost my respect.

Turns out, SD13 handed in the essay late and got 100% on it, raising her class grade to an A.

So, guess who didn't hand in a long-term reading assignment last week? :O

Oh, but guess WHO hasn't mentioned it to DH? SD13 has a 59% in honors English! Go Skid, GO!! }:)

Not worth the fight. I do all the emaiing to teachers, homework and projects. If BF wants to give SS ANOTHER excuse for his bad behavior, that last line is not going to change his mind
