The Deed is Done

Monday, April 29th, 2013

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.
