Call the Whaaabulance!


Today one of my sons teacher had a "fed up" moment.  Like who hasn't?
This teacher has threatened to kick out those that do not have passing grades but keeps giving the students a second chance to bring them up.  Evidently, the "elect" choir has about 50% of the students with 1 or more failing grades (nope, our son isn't one of them...whew!).  So he threatened to not have this particular choir anymore...blah, blah, blah.  Then in the concert choir, he blew again...students texting, playing games on the iPod's etc.  So he left.  His son then begins to tell the whole class what his family has been going through (he is a junior), how hard his father works, his brother just left on a mission...
WHAT?  is this a new concept?
Let's take a look...right, the students should be kicked out for grades, the teacher has given them more then enough time and should just carry through his threats especially to those who are literally trying to keep their grades passing (yes, that would be our son)
A father that gives over 100% to his students and job...oh wait, I think we have been there.
A brother on a mission...yup, done that one too...many have and many will yet get to experience that blessing!
Students disrespecting their teacher...oh wait, isn't that why we moved from GJ?
Yup, I think I will let the whaabulance take this one.
I could probably list what our family has gone through compared to this family.  He is a great teacher and very talented, but seriously...get a grip! kick out the bad and concentrate on the good!
