This is a dangerous post. Janet is a retired teacher who will be disappointed in my lack of proof reading. Especially since I'm a speach langwaje putholojist. (Oh, she just cringed.)
Aside from having a long and illustrious career working with students who were not always cooperative or motivated, Janet is also one of my many cousins. Last weekend, we were chatting at a family gathering. I was sharing my long term plan for one of my kids, which goes against everything parents in my high achieving, high strung district believe. I include myself in that group. Well, the high strung group. Nobody has ever accused me of being high achieving.
After viewing a report from school, I have to say, I'm very tempted to scrap the plan and start a rescue mission. If it weren't for Janet telling me last week that she thought it was a good plan, I would have already cried uncle. Janet, thanks for supporting my parenting choice. It's really hard to stick to at the moment, so your words of encouragement mean a lot.
