Student of the Month

We received a letter from Thurman White Middle School notifying us that Spencer had been selected as September's Student of the month in Sixth grade science. The whole family got a good laugh out of that because we withdrew Spencer from school the last week of September.

Spencer was so frustrated with the kids in general and his science lab partners in particular. His lab partners didn't want to do science labs at all. What's more, Spencer was being bullied only like Jr. High School kids can do so well so that teachers aren't aware. Since we weren't in favor of that kind of socialization, we have now moved him to the virtual academy. He has his own computer for school work, he will work from home, have a regular teacher, attend all sorts of field trips with his virtual classmates. Vicki becomes the person responsible to record his time and help with school work. This should be a good experience.

It will be awesome! Way to do what is right for Spencer. I hate, no HATE Junior High. Sorry it was so rotten but I think this will be ever so much better for The Student of the Month!
