Today was the last day of school. Kayleen gave her teacher Maria's "diamond" bracelet. I'm really glad she called me to ask about it.
Kayleen told the teacher we bought it for her at King's. Not true. She never said a word to me about buying her teacher any gift. I felt terrible but we had to take it back.
Maria completely flunked 8th grade. She failed all 4 of her major subjects. She got a 59 average in English. If she had only gotten a 60, she would have passed! (Close but no cigar on that.) She can't even go to summer school now.
Maria got an average of 53 in World Cultures, 53 in Science and a 49 in Math. She deserves to fail with crappy grades like that. She has to repeat 8th grade next year.
I'm sure Maria didn't learn anything all year. She's very unhappy but I don't know what she expected to happen. She put very little effort into her schoolwork. She was more interested in socialization and fashion. Bad choices obviously!
Otherwise it's a dreary day here. It's been drizzling on and off. It's only 59 degrees. I doubt we'll be going fishing unless it clears up.
I'm sick of writing so that's all for now. Make comments and have a great day everyone that reads this. Hugs!
