It’s the time-wasting that so offends me. You’re basically homeschooling her anyway so why is she in a school with such a toxic atmosphere?
I’m not attacking you; it’s something that genuinely puzzles me when I run across it. Thousands, maybe millions of people are putting up with garbage like that, fixing it on their own time, when the only thing that would really make a huge difference would be to pull out en masse, taking the funding and the teachers’ jobs with them.
The rules at our local school are for her to be involved in any extracurriculars she must attend at least one class and by doing so they still get the full funding per student. Also to be eligible for many of the scholarships she must attend a school (Home Schooling doesn't count towards most of the requirements.)
She has already sewn up a 20K private local scholarship because she has met the requirements and they give it out each year to one girl and one boy with the best grades and who went all 9 years to the Catholic school. She is the only girl eligible in her graduating class so all she need do now is get her diploma.
She has a chance at over 70K in local Scholarships besides the one she has sewn up. The teachers of the Catholic school sat down with us and showed all the money available. Most of it requires you attend the Catholic School and get good grades so we grin and bear it and check her work daily. Her former Math teacher tests her every week to make sure she is maintaining her High grades and to make sure the public school teachers are doing what they are supposed to.
The local Catholic teachers are wonderful they will work with any and all former students to make sure they are prepared for college.
