BM and if it has to be with her then fine, but with know it all step dad who runs his mouth more than anyone in any school meeting he has ever been in, it would be easier if we could have it separate. We will tell the teacher though if SD is behind where she was when she left us. We have the final assessment from the tutor as well as the every session reports from the tutor we would be more than happy to send over to the teacher. 

but it is pretty dumb to use when SD is 6 because it doesn't sound good SD starting the phone call about adding on a new bathroom then talking about not affording tea for a child's sore throat

Kind of funny but when I was 5 I told my school that my dad lived in the attic and we sometimes brought him food... The truth to that was that my dad had an art studio in the attic and when he was painting we would sometimes bring him snacks. Let's just say it prompted a whole investigation

They can't afford tea, it is either an excuse to not buy it or a child's perception on things. 
 

For the school part, we weren't asking SD to repeat it. We asked SD is she had been practicing counting to 100. She said no just learning at school and I forgot how to count to 100. Currently we are waiting for a response from her teacher about the online portal and then to ask about conferences and progress. 

I don't know if part of it too is BM telling SD we don't have money for this or that so it makes it's way back to DH and perhaps then he will buy whatever it is that SD was told they don't have money for it. Without getting into it there is a history of why I wouldn't be surprised if BM is indirectly trying to get DH to spend money, not for tea specifically, but in general. Like her sending the phone to us this summer that only works on wifi beause BM hasn't paid the bill. 

DH knows BM has always had a way of telling people specifically the church about hardships she has without asking for money, but where other people and/or the church donate to BM whatever it is she may need. Where they come from the churches will lend their time to assist those in need at their church or donate items such as cars for the church to donate to someone in the church who might need it, etc. I don't want to give a whole lot of information on it but there are instances of this in BM's history. I don't understand it because I could never do that, but at the end of the day BM is basically a con artist.

That's true I know DH did email the teacher once we found out who it was and introduced himself and gave a bit of background on SD having to repeat kindergarten and getting tutoring all summer with us, but could very easily send along the evaluations that the tutor did, one at the beginning and one at the very end.

I just know there was a bit of attitude we had to deal with for a week or two with SD not wanting to count to 100 so she kept messing up because she wasn't trying because she thought she wouldn't have to do it if she kept messing up, but since we knew she could she didn't get out of it until she did it. So I don't know if she tries and doesn't get to 100 if it is a lack of wanting to do it or a lack of practice of it she has forgotten some of it. Maybe if we do a video call vs a regular call.
