The first week of school came and went with only a few minor glitches. Most of the glitches came from my 12 yr. old. Middle School is not like Elementary. If you don't turn in your homework, you get detention after school. If you don't pass your core classes, you don't go to 8th grade. Personally, I don't find that hard to understand, but we'll just leave it there...
Jonathan forgot his math book on Monday, homework was due on Tuesday, the online math book was not available yet. . . aghhhhhhh! Luckily, his cousin had her book and was done using it. So that night, he didn't get to bed on time, but he DID get his homework done and turned in. Of course he was very tired the next day, but that's what you get!
Other than that, everything went pretty smoothly.
I don't really remember doing homework when I was in the 7th/8th grade or even in High School. I remember the 4th grade. It seems like all I did was LONG DIVISION. I can remember sitting at my desk at home, looking at the math book page full of division problems and dreading doing them. I actually liked my teacher (although I can't remember her name). I would give her gardenia's from our driveway and she still wouldn't give me a break on those division problems! Wow, trying to bribe the teacher at nine years old!
