It's kind of funny that last night I decided to write about tutoring because today I was notified that I wouldn't be tutoring anymore. It really sucks because that was my income, as little as it was, it was something. Apparently, one of the students I was tutoring was not doing any of her school work. She was doing her work while I was there, and nothing else during the week. She was told that she would be put on academic probation, but continued to slack off until they kicked her out of home school today. Her mother, my friend, figured that if she would be sending one girl back to public school, she might as well send them both back. Therefore, no more work for me.
Even though I did plenty of complaining, the job was good for me. It got me out of the house twice a week, and G was going to school while I tutored. I enjoyed doing math with her younger daughter. I think she was really understanding what I was teaching her. Now, because her older sister was selfish and lazy, everything is ruined.
How do you get kicked out of home school anyway? I mean, I hate to say it, but all you have to do is the work, and it isn't that hard. Granted I already completed school, but some of the work was just silly easy. It all comes down to kids feeling like they can do or say whatever they want to do without fear of consequences. last year, this same girl flunked out and had to redo the same grade over. You think she would have learned her lesson then, but apparently not!
I'm feeling pretty down about this because I still haven't heard back from the judge. Even though I received a check for child support, I have no idea if I will be receiving any more. At least I took care of everything that G wanted for Christmas, and her happiness is all that really matters to me anyway.
Next time: I just don't know anymore
