9/22 Conferences

I met with Robbie's Art teacher today.  He has a low grade and I wanted to talk about why.

Here is an example.  Every square is supposed to be filled in with a color.  Robbie just did not finish. This will look really neat when it is done.  I plan to make him finish it when we get a free minute.

Afterwards, I went in to speak with the principal.  I figured, I was already there, might as well kill two birds with one stone.  I asked the principal to audit Robbie's band class.  According to Robbie, it is completely out of hand.  I also confirmed that there are 8th graders having lunch the same time as the 6th graders.  The meeting was very civil, but when I started thinking about what was said, I did not feel good about it.
