School Stresses

Okay, boys first day of school at South Ridge was Tuesday and they both went. Chuck picked up CJ from school early because they had a meeting with the superintendent of schools for the middle school. CJ wants to play football really bad and we found out that the only way he can play is to go to the public middle school.

So, CJ thought he would go to the middle school for 9 weeks and quit and go back to South Ridge and still work on his PACE's for South Ridge while going to the public school. So, he didn't' go to South Ridge the next day, Chuck in-rolled him in the public school. Then I went to un-inroll him at South Ridge and found out you can't be in two schools at once. So, he can't homeschool through South Ridge and go to the public school. I think that would have been to hard on him. So, if he does quit middle school at 9 weeks he has to pick up where he left off at South Ridge which is already ½ a year behind. So, I think he should stick it out the whole year, but he is giving us a really hard time right now saying he is still quitting. But, if he does he can't play football next year because he'll be even FURTHER behind. Chuck said to leave it alone till he has been going a while maybe he'll like it and want to stay on his own and not to make a big deal about it yet.

So, since CJ and their cousin Danny are both going to the public school and the times are so different Joe wants to go. All three of them are in the 7th grade. Joe wanted to make sure that they would put him in the 7th grade at age 11. Because South Ridge has him down as a 7th grader they will, thank goodness. Also, Joe wants to wrestle and play tennis.

So, Joe went to school 2 days and we pulled him out and CJ went 1! LOL!! Their teacher at South Ridge said that they were the shortest students he ever had. LOL!! So, now both boys go to the public middle school and they have to be at school at 7:10. At South Ridge I had them there at 8am. They are done at 2:20pm. They can take a bus home, I will still drop them off because I work out at SNAP Fitness in the mornings.

So, this week has been very stressful for me to the point of not eating, major headache for three straight days, and having the nervous pooh-ies. LOL!! I'm not so bad today, though when CJ has a fit over quitting school in 9 weeks I tend to get stressed out but I will just leave that one up to Chuck to deal with.

So, I had a false start on the first day of school thing LOL!! Had them gone for one day and they are both back home for one more week of summer vacation. Their first day of school is the 26th. It will be the first time Joe has ever ridden a school bus!! CJ won't because he has football after school EVERY day. I will have to run out there and get him, but at least I'm not running out there twice. Once to get Joe and then another to get CJ.
