School

I had a meeting with Emily's vice Principal, Bronwyn. She's such a nice person and I'm so grateful to her for everything she's done to help Emily this school year. It's clear that not enough work's getting done here at home for Emily to go forward so I had to come home and crack the whip. Emily has a lovely home bound teacher who is already overwhelmed with her many other students but she tries so hard to get Emily through her work. Usually after she leaves Emily crashes so not much more gets done. I set some higher goals for Emily and now she'll have to work harder to pass this grade. I know she can do it because she's totally awesome!

During my meeting it was decided that Emily would begin her return to school starting this Monday with 5 days of just Math. This will continue for a few weeks before we add another subject. We'll combine those subjects with Jan and myself home schooling and this way she should do much better.

On Monday Emily goes back at 10:00am until just after 12:00. She wont have to cath during this time and she'll have uninterupted class with her peers followed by lunch with Andy in the cafeteria which will do her good because I feel that she needs to mix with kids her own age not to mention that this is going to make her return to fulltime school easier.
