Lesson Comments
Judie, I know you are STRESSED! But, first of all Samantha did not want to work this morning. Secondly, and this is the part that bothers me, she said that she completed the Florida Virtual School session for today with Betsy and passed the test for this session. When I left her at the end of class time, she did not seem to grasp the factoring of numerators and denominators. Did Betsy continue to work with her on this? I asked her about the remainder of the class work she was to complete and she said she did not do it. What the heck is going on? Am I being snowed by her with regard to her understanding of the work? Please help me understand what in the world is going on. She was so angry when I came in for her Wilson lesson that she wouldn't speak to me for a while. She eventually stated that her father wouldn't let her have baking and sewing an other electives, so I got the brunt of that tantrum.
