the meeting with the VP....
So, Jamie apparently made it into the house at some point yesterday... he's not telling us how...
Thankfully he came with us to meet the vice principal, and we actually had a good meeting. The first meeting back in September, Jamie's hair was still long, and he kept it over his face... he didn't say much, just shrugged his shoulders and slouched in the chair and hadn't showered in a few days....
Yesterday, he looked much more alert - and of course we can see much more of his face with his mohawk... he had showered and he took part in the conversation... a big improvement!
It looks like this sememster is written off... he's too far behind to catch up now. We've (Jamie, the Vice Principal, Jim and myself) agreed that he will drop this semester and start up again in Feb for 2nd semester. In the meantime, he's going to talk to his counsellor about possibly doing English 10 through correspondence so he won't be too overloaded come summer if he goes to summer school (all his ideas / agreements). It sounds like he's getting bored of being home with nothing to do.
I just hope he's not telling us all what he thinks we want to hear, so he can sit around and do nothing until feb and get us of his back....
Ahh well.... one day at a time....
