Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - FFFFFFD
Well, Jo's grades are not good. We got a report from the first two weeks. The good news is, he got a D. The bad news is that everything else was an F.
Missing assignments, stuff just not done right....ugh. We didn't realize he could re-do the work and get better credit for it. We'll be doing that from now on, in addition to his normal homework. We are trying to get an appointment with his teacher this week to see if we can work out some better systems.
Meanwhile, Violet and I are having a week off of normal homeschool. Monday was uneventful, today we were at the learning center (school) all day....but the rest of the week there will be lots of time to work on her sewing project or goof off. :) Of course, I have to get back to it and schedule the next session of school for her before Monday......
Sean hasn't been doing well with the Jo thing lately. With me, I struggled with guilt, failure, despair, etc. I have worked through a lot of it, but it has been tough. For Sean, it didn't really hit him until last week. So these things with Jo and school this week have been tough on Sean. He has to struggle through the feelings of failure and guilt, feelings of inadequacy. These particular issues have been tough in our marriage since day 1. He has come a LONG way in dealing with them, and this is but another installment. Life in the Lanahan house has been hard. Nevertheless, God is good.
