On the advice of my lawyer, I have re-enrolled Kate in PS. Her last day being homeschooled is tomorrow. Easter vacation starts the next day, and she has her first day at the new school on the 9th. I'm trying to do my usual afterschool routine-printing out her daily grades, entering them on the spreadsheet I use to keep track of them all, writing out tomorrow's lesson plan. I had her do dome extra Language Arts today in both courses so she could finish out the chapters she was doing, so I'm not planning anything for those tomorrow. Unfortunately, we are smack in the middle of Math, Social Studies, and Science chapters, and there is no way I can have her finish those tomorrows, but I decided to have her do 2-3 lessons in those chapters for continuity. Since I never received the information from her previous teacher on what had been covered, we started at the beginning, but we made serious progress over the last month. If we had been able to continue, she would have been finished with 4th grade, I'd say, by the third week of April. At least at the rate we were going.
I hate this. I think I'm going to ask Alan to take all the kids with him to drop off Kate tomorrow so I can have the house to myself tomorrow afternoon. We're going to keep her enrolled in Time4Learning so she can have fun with it and get some extra practice. That, and she gets to add their Art program on the 1st which she was really looking forward to. However, I want to spend tomorrow afternoon putting away or rearranging all of the stuff. Our schoolroom is in our bedroom, centering around the computer desk. I don't know what I'll do with her desk and Bella's desk, but I think for me, it needs to go. I really don't want to have to wake up every morning and look at it all. She'll still be able to use the computer for the site, but I don't think she'll need a desk set up to work at.
Rage is building up, and God help whoever it spews on. It won't be my husband or my kids, but stupid people need to back the hell off for a bit.
I get all of that...I do. You know, Kate will always know that her mama stood up for her and cared about her feelings.
