As they explained at Meet the Teacher night, they use a warning system for all other rules - talking when the teacher is talking, following directions, etc, before you get a violation, but they consider all students (and parents) duly "warned" about daily homework so it goes straight to the violation. I agree with this completely- I was also a conscientious kid, but if I chose not to put a folder in my backpack after being asked at least 6x by my parents I would have earned it. Plus, you can get up to 5 while still keeping your "E" (excellent/highest) conduct grade, so there's room for error, and I very much like the forward-looking "what will I do to avoid this in the future" line and the fact the kids have to sit down and think and write it out by themselves. Landon took it all with grace - he cares, but he's not upset about it. My impression from the other parents when we were all joking about it at the picnic last night is their kids have been the same. <br /><br />And yeah, the skin cancer thing is super painful. I've had it checked and have another in 3 weeks. Sadly, this is exactly how it's supposed to look if you have a bunch more cancerous cells like apparently I do.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-35012031818160300152016-09-10T15:49:24.599-05:002016-09-10T15:49:24.599-05:00Meant to say mortified me not modifiedMeant to say mortified me not modifiedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-25513434060823250292016-09-10T15:48:10.464-05:002016-09-10T15:48:10.464-05:00Holy crap.

Sounds like he's in reform school or something. <br /><br />I was a very conscientious kid but still made an occasional mistake. That violation paperwork would've modified me. <br /><br />So sorry you're going thru the skin cancer thing. It looks painful. Do they check it at some point to make sure it's not infected? Or give any instructions about what types of symptoms they'd want you to come in for a check? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
