I hate SEP's

I don't know if they do these any where but Utah, I think it stands for student, educator, Parent. It is where you go in and talk with the teacher about how your child is doing and what they can do to improve. I am all for being in good communication with the teacher but they make you fill out four goals and how you can help your child achieve them. Everytime (which they do these quarterly), every year it is the same thing. "Brock is a great student, top in blah, blah, blah but He has a hard time listening and he talks too much. Then they want you (meaning me the Parent) to come up with a solution. Hey if I could come up with a way to make Brock listen better I would have done it way before SEP's. And for the talking, I am glad he is social. Of course I wish he would talk only when called on and only talk to other students that had their work done but I don't know what I can do about it while I am at home and he is at school.
I guess I am just irritated because I feel like it is a waste of time. I like to look on the bright side, he hasn't been sent into the Principals office for like a year and a half. That is what I call improvement.

I hear 'ya. It's not like they can tell us much that we don't already know. If there's a problem, they can always call or email. Kind of a waste of time.

I found you. Hey, your niece and Ruby are obsessed with each other. It's very cute. And so are you.

Hey reminds me of the head start days when you have to set goals. Good luck. Maybe you should come up with something really off the wall, but be totally serious about it.
