the year is almost over for my oldest in 4th grade. I just got the 3rd quarter report card and Ava got cart blanch at the lego store.
I would say my wife and I have worked to be part of the class and insure it is a good year. On Ava's report card, it said "One of my favorite students of all time!" from the teacher. When Ava asked me what I thought, I told her he put that on all the report cards. Ava said no just 4, because she went and copied them for the teacher during Extension class for the entitled students.
One interesting thing is every time I walk into the classroom, the teacher starts talking crap about extensions and how the worst testing students go to extensions and that its for a bunch of elite student wana bes. I am not sure how to explain it, but I have become board hearing him talk trash at these students, as I feel it is all a show for me. I have to imagine the extension students cant like it.
Anyway I thought it was funny when we were going on a field trip to a planetarium. before we left, the teacher laid out some rules and one was he appointed two kids to sit next to him and ordered the kids to elbow him if he should fall asleep. He further explained how he got in alot of trouble for falling asleep and that other teachers have complained. I sat a few seats down from him at the event and sure enough he feel asleep and I heard him snoring, and the kids did their part to wake him up.
But better than that one, was how he explained to me that he worked for NASA and killed an extra terrestrial by order of the president. No shit.
