LOL Right you are! Even the Ramada Inn in Philadelphia is sounding good about now. My poor kids get to put up with all of my coughing. I took cough medicine last night but coughed even more as it helped to loosen the gunk in my chest. I will be happy when this is gone.
I am going to try to meet with 14 teachers tonight. I will be armed with all the necessary precautions so that I won't make them sick. I also promise to keep the talking short, I have to hurry with 23 teachers to meet over two nights!

I only have eight teachers left to meet tonight. Knocked out a lot last night. D11 has all A's, S18 A's and B's and S15 is struggling. He just won't get that he can ask for help, they have tutors at school for the math. On top of that missing assignments...again. I help them all as much as I can, but I can't make him turn in the paper. I'm frustrated and yet I know all of this mess with ex has hit him the hardest.
I think it is time for a counselor to step in with me.

Good job to D11 and S18 on keeping their grades up. What about S18 helping S15 with the homework? But I do agree that if the D is affecting him then counseling is probably needed at this point.

S18 tries to help him but he kind of has a dictorial style about his teaching. So resentment builds instead of understanding. I know another one of S18's friends is really good with math. Maybe he can offer some guidance.
I am tired and I am tired of coughing.

Glad S18 and D11 are doing so good. Sorry S15 is struggling. He'll get there. Sounds like sending him to the tutoring or getting S18's friend to help might be good. If you guys lived closer I'd send my dad over. But alas...you're on your own.
