The Mad Chatters thread Part 4

[paigevz]

Anyone else just skip the news on here? Lately, I've been not catching the news.................just the CNN headlines when I log on, which are awful, but not like watching the same stuff night after night. Skipping it seems to have done wonders for my anxiety levels!!!!

Wish I had been able to DIS all day today, but alas, I had to work.

We had to ride a little school bus 45 min. each way to a different school. That thing made me wanna heave. But other than that, I felt pretty good today. Thanks for asking, Teresa!!

So what did I miss?

Aw, Bonnie, I will be back in your boat tomorrow with no DISing in the day.................you usually take your lunch at home with the DIS though don't you?

I just got caught up on what you guys did over the weekend. A small bit of chatting with D2 and Teresa, but you know I don't chat as well as you.............

Then a bit of chatting with Jay and Tricia.................she was shopping today......................Jay started her TR...........................not much happened when I've been here!

Oh, and Kim came on and left again.....................

 

[paigevz]

Oh, and I would've asked after your health, but unlike Teresa, I am very self-centered............................

Yeah, right!! You're chock full of stimulating conversation, sistah! I'm pretty boring these days. Once I've said all I can about pimps and hos, I'm all talked out.

Oh, well that's a given. I expected nothing less!

 

[paigevz]

It's just so nice when your friends accept you the way you are.............

That's 'cause you spend all day with tinies..............how many times can you talk about the snot on your sweater and the glue on your pants, and the glitter in your hair???

I have a question and I wonder if any of you would feel the same.

Saturday I received a letter in the mail from one of Ds highschool teachers. Basically it is a form letter where the name of the child is filled in and the teacher sign it. The letter is about excessive absents and explains how this creates a problem with make up work and etc.

I'm not worried about getting the letter since ds has only missed 3 days (2 for being sick and 1 the teacher signed off on giving ds permission to help another teacher) in the class and has a 91 average as of today. I think the letter is a mistake BUT I'm concerned the letter was generated by a student and the teacher just signed off. The envelope and the name on the letter (besides the teachers) are not the teachers handwriting.

I'm concerned with any student having access to my sons school records and our private information that should only seen by school personel. I have emailed the teacher and cc to the principle so Im waiting on a reply but this bothers me. I guess it shouldnt and Im not one to make waves but this just seems wrong.

Would any of you feel the same way?

I don't know, S4S, in our school, any letter like that would've been sent by the attendance clerk, not the teacher. But 3 absences (and I would think it would only be counted as 2 anyway), isn't a lot, and there would be no letter from us on that.

I do think you should ask the teacher about it, of course...........

Was there any sensitive information on it? Perhaps if it was sent by another child, it's just a friend of your son's???

I'm waiting for a response from the teacher. There was no sensitive info on the letter itself...just a form letter but someone had to write ds name at the top and the teacher signed at the bottom. Sensitive info would come in when our info was accessed to get our mailing address.

 

[paigevz]

So, yeah, if it's not information any of your son's friends would have, you bet I'd be concerned................well, even if it was, I'd still be concerned.

Maybe the computer is listing 3 absences in the first 6 or 9 weeks, however your schools do it, and it was just generated by the computer. The teacher may not have paid attention to it, and an attendance clerk addressed it.

But I'd be doing exactly what you're doing.....................

I hope it turns out to be nothing.
