Our Life & Times

Well, the dreaded classroom assignment list was posted today for Konnor's school. He is at camp until Friday (and I am enjoying some much needed ME time). Long story short, Konnor cried and begged me to not make him be in Mrs. Swanson's class this coming year. I told him I could not control where he goes, but that I would speak to his 4th grade teacher to see if we could state a preference. I told his last teacher how strongly Konnor felt about going into Mrs. Swanson's class and that he preferred another teacher. Well, you guessed it! I checked the list today and Konnor is assigned to Mrs. Swanson. I don't even know the lady. She could be a wonderful teacher, but I do know my son, and if he starts off bad in the beginning it just gets WORSE! I am so worried about it that I have decided not to tell him that I know, but to tell him to ride his bike to the school when he gets home from camp instead, and let him find out on his own. Call me chicken, but I do know my son! I hope that he will have a better attitude than I am expecting him to have about the whole thing, but I doubt it. Either way, it looks like we have another "fun" school year ahead of us (NOT!)
