That’s right, you read correctly.
Last week was Anastasia’s final week of school before Christmas break. Anastasia came home on Monday (last week) and told me she didn’t have any homework. I thought it was odd, although I asked her a few times and she told me she didn’t have any. I asked Tuesday, then Wednesday.
On Wednesday her report card came in, she dropped in almost EVERY subject. Her grades dropped ALOT. At that point I decided I needed to call her teacher on Thursday (Dec 11th).
When I talked to Anastasia’s teacher, she told me that Anastasia talks non stop and that almost none of her school work has been turned in and that is why her grades are so low. I asked her teacher why her grades were so low and she told me it was because Anastasia talks so much, her work doesn’t get done and then she never turns it in.
Then Anastasia’s teacher told me that she had full day (detention) that day because Anastasia lost her homework point card. I told her teacher that Anastasia told me she didn’t have any homework. He teacher told me yes she did and that Anastasia told her that she left her homework at home. Oh boy.
Looks like the lying is in FULL swing again.
When Anastasia got home I told her she was grounded. She was not allowed off the wall (you know the old nose on the wall punishment) unless she had a pass. So now when does anything that takes her off the wall, chores, eating, schoolwork, etc. she needs to have this pass I made for her.
I am trying to get through to her, that not only is lying bad, she needs to remember the rules and follow them even though she is not reminded constantly.
It has been two days into her ‘vacation’ and I hate it when she is punished. The only thing that keeps my staying the course with this punishment is I know it will make her a better person in school and in the future.
