FROM THE 'FUN NEVER ENDS' FILES
We're trying to get my stepdaughter into a school which won't throw an endless stream of bullshit worksheets at her. She's not going to be bending any spoons with her mind or anything like that, but she *is* a curious kid and learns best in a hands-on environment.
So, we got her into a better school than the one she's been in, and word got to her current teacher(s) a couple of months ago that she was ass-out of there next year.
This apparently would not do for them, and they started talking with me during my volunteer days about trying to get her involved with the Jefferson County Gifted and Talented programs. I told them in pretty clear terms that we'd already arranged for her schooling, and while we appreciated their effort, it was a little late in coming.
We learned last week, that her father and stepmother were also approached, and felt differently about the matter. So much differently in fact, that they went ahead and put in an application for her to be tested and go to a completely different school from the one we've already got her enrolled in. And because we are the custodial parents and have sole purview over where she goes to school, they had to do it in our names.
The date on the application is March 3rd, and we would never have known about this had they not sent a confirmation packet to us in the mail.
Unbelievable.
Needless to say, we got in touch with both schools and sorted it out, but if we hadn't got that packet, she might very well have been removed from the roster of the school we're sending her to next year before we could do anything about it. Now that both schools are aware of her father/stepmother's shenanigans, there's no chance of that.
Fun and excitement. And now, back to my mushroomy soup and the bliss which comes of knowing I've got a full hour before I have to get back to document conversion.
