You know it is bad when you're having nightmares

[Guest guest]

Ok, you know it must be real bad when I'm having nightmares about Sebastian's finals. HE'S IN FOURTH GRADE FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!!

He's almost done. Today is the last day. He has the two worse, math and Social Studies. We studied for almost 4 hours with him yesterday, and this was just a review as we have studied all this material for the last three weeks now. This is completely ridiculous, don't you think. I was having a dream - I asked the principle and the teacher to call me in immediately when the tests were graded. When they called me in the whole faculty was gathered, with the pastor of the parish. He was looking at Sebastian's math test and was teasing me telling me, he did a mistake here, and there. I was really upset. Finally he says to the faculty "should we tell her?". That's when everyone got up yelled "HE PASSED" and started clapping their hands.

I didn't expect these kind of problems at least until High School. Don't you think this is f..... up?????? I will definitely breath better now that we don't have to study anymore. Then I'll just have to wait for the grades. He was doing real well at home, but he folds under pressure. I tried not to push him too hard, but how can he not be pressured when there was so much difficult stuff to remember. He's only 9.

Okay Mojo, I am still trying to figure out finals at that age. Our girls are in seventh grade and didn't have any finals. Not that I agree with that because I feel by their age they should, but goodness, your son should not be having that much pressure so early on. I guess maybe it's a school where the kids will get a better education though and learn study habits early? Just tossing things out here, I really don't get it, but I have never worked in education so that could explain that huh?
