Well, it's done. I have "J" registered for middle school. Do I like it? Yes and no. I like it b/c I don't have to deal with him anymore and his attitude. I don't like it b/c I know what's going to happen. I'll be stuck helping him do his homework every night for two (2), yes I said 2, hours or more. I might as well teach him at home!!! If I'm going to be the one doing that I might as well home school him.
But "W" wants me to put him in there for our own sakes. I agree with that but then I don't. I agree with him as far as keeping the peace but after going through my head, it's not that school IS or WAS bad it's the AFTER school that's crazy. I mean if he would just DO what we ask him to do then the house wouldn't be in kaos.
"W" got home from work and he asked me if I had found the birth certificate. I said yes, and also told him that it's done. W asks "what's done?" T says "he's registered for school." W asks, "when does he start school?" "In August," T says. J says, "WHAT! No!!!" T says to herself, "then maybe you should have listened and done what you're supposed to do. Oh well."
I'm praying very hard to the Lord to give me peace and understanding through this whole thing. I pray the Lord watch out for J as he ventures out into a new school. I pray J learns quickly how middle school works and stays out of trouble and keeps his cool.
Yes I have reservations on this. I always do when it comes to his education b/c I worry about what other teachers will treat him. Some teachers are not forgiving and patient. Some are but the majority aren't. I worry that they don't help him and that they won't spend the time that is needed. I pray that the teachers help and watch out for him when he needs assistance.

Conflicted
April 25th, 2013
Well he did it! J finally made me cry. Actually it felt REALLY good to do that. What had happened was that J had an English assignment that is due tomorrow (Friday, April 26th) and he was looking up a word in the dictionary. I had walked to the front from my room and saw that he was STILL looking up the word in the dictionary. I reached for it to help him out (actually I grabbed for it) and he pulled the book from me and he broke my thumb nail way below the line where my flesh is and it hurt so bad I grabbed my thumb and it hurt like an SOB!!! So I walked to the bathroom and he of course he followed me but I told him to get away from me. Of course I didn't talk to J for awhile. Of course he said sorry. Not that I believed him.
I haven't decided whether to homeschool him or send him to school. IDK, what to do. I'm so conflicted on what to do. For one, I'm afraid on what the family would say. My question is, should I care what the family thinks or says when it comes to J's education? I mean his education is more important than what the family thinks or says. The other thing is J's attitude, anger and argument. The next thing is the assignments I'm going to assigning him. I mean HE TAKES F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! I mean it!! OMG!! I had to take over tonight on an assignment that he was doing for 4 days b/c it took him F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!
Homeschooling takes so much out of me each day. I mean there are good days but the bad days are out weighing the good days. I wish it was the other way around. Then I guess I wouldn't have to worry about what other people are thinking or saying.
