Kindergarten, cont...

As you know, we have been struggling with issues surrounding kindergarten, and they do nothing but continue.  Our big problem right now, is the school still cannot figure out how to spell Mischief's name.  Before school started, I knew they were spelling it wrong, and the secretary of the school told me she did not have time to change it right then, so she asked me to come back a couple weeks after school started to have her change the spelling.  In the meantime, her teacher and the computer lab teacher were all told to spell it incorrectly.  During writing exercises, Mischief tries to spell it correctly, and the teacher was making her trace it incorrectly.  Obviously, I took care of that problem, and the school finally has it changed, but they will not tell the computer teacher to change the spelling of her name!

The computer program having Mischief's name misspelled has been causing huge problems.  The students' legal name is the password to log on to the computer.  So, it took some time before I was the one who figured out they had it spelled wrong, and she was spelling it correctly, so it would not let her onto the website.  Now, they are making her spell her name incorrectly in order to be able to log onto the computer system to do the computer work.  If she does not do the work, she does not get credit for being in computer class that day.  The computer teacher will not change the spelling of the name, until the school tells her to change the spelling!

I am completely appalled that the school is forcing Mischief to spell her name incorrectly, when they are at an age where they need to be learning how to do things the right way!

On a good note, Mayhem has entered the world of preschool, and is sooo excited, he prances every where when he talks about preschool!  His explanation of the day was, "Yay!  I went potty without my teacher!"  His poor teacher....
