Spent most of Saturday in the van, coming back from Omaha. I got home around 2pm, checked the mail and found a nasty surprise. My oldest son's interim report. All A's and B's (mostly A's) and an F in reading due to "many missing assignments." Huh?
Needless to say, I wasn't very happy about this. The thing is, I see him do his homework every night. So either he isn't turning it in, or there's some other problem. I know he's a good reader. He reads all the time.
What upsets me most about this is that I just had a conference with his teacher not more than a week ago and she gave me no indication that his reading grade was so bad. Especially considering how good his other grades are??
Isn't this what conferences are for?
