Operation "No More Poor Me" continues, and I feel better about the lack of whining. And yesterday, I found out something that made me feel fantastic.
D's 1st semester report card was pretty bad. A lot of 1s. A bunch of "needs improvement" marks. I was really confused as to what happened--her midterm report had come back all checks, she didn't get notes home from school that there were problems, and she did ok with homework every night.
So we went to work. I got after school involved and asked if they could work with her. Asked her teacher to send home any extra assignments D could use.
Her 2nd semester report card came home yesterday. Only a single 1. All of the "needs improvement" marks gone. Comment from the teacher to keep it up, and she was making progress.
