Well...here we sit...Friday night, school is out (@3hrs now)...grades were closed Wednesday 8am but...I STILL have no idea what my kids' grades are. I have looked via the infinite campus app...maybe the computer version will be more revealing. I really despise the major drama around the simple task of getting my child's grades.

Is There A Light At The End…?
Is there a light at the end of this tunnel ? I think so. I admit, there have been brief moments where I feel defeated and quitting surfaces my mind for just a moment. I know better! I am NOT a quitter. People have GOT to start speaking up! ANYONE can watch! I spoke with … Continue reading Is There A Light At The End…?
Strange Things Happening
Well, a few good things...I get emails from teachers. Long emails too. I also receive daily progress reports from Edgenuity via email...something that would have been nice to get from day 1. Now I get a daily snapshot of my child's grade going down because it is still locked. Still no resolution. I'm not thrilled … Continue reading Strange Things Happening
Unlocking with Strings Attached
As if the time between the lesson and being locked out of a quiz is not enough....how about this.... When teacher was asked to unlock assessment/quiz so the student could work on a second attempt (of 3), they were told "not until you give me (in writing) the corrected answers to the first assessment". REALLY?? … Continue reading Unlocking with Strings Attached
Locked Out Of Advancement
Here we are 4:30pm after a full school day and this "remarkable" tool called Edgenuity is still not unlocked. Going on 4 weeks now. Explain to me HOW a child an realistically advance or learn, if the staff are not doing THEIR job? The use of technology in public schools is only as efficient as … Continue reading Locked Out Of Advancement
Updates-“Working at Your Own Pace”
The purpose of edgenuity is for kids to be able to "work at their own pace". After a semester of this, you would think the kinks would be worked out and I would not be bringing this to you. An EXAMPLE of how the use of this educational tool is being so underutilized in our … Continue reading Updates-“Working at Your Own Pace”
Common-Core/Standards Based/Edgenuity….all buzz words
Please bear with me a moment. I am TRULY ranting! I am so fed up with the education system that I am begging for someone to just say I am the insane one and put me out of everyone's misery. Slept in today, something our family does not do often. I have two active teens. … Continue reading Common-Core/Standards Based/Edgenuity….all buzz words
New Year New Soap Box
Here we are...20-14! Here we are...another soapbox post. This year, I'm trying to not let so much get under my skin. Nine days into the year and I sit at my kids' school waiting on them and fighting an itch under my skin. PEOPLE BEHIND THE WHEEL. Do we seriously lose our brains when our … Continue reading New Year New Soap Box
Who Do We REALLY Serve
Soapbox moment that has to be said. I have never understood how churches/religious organizations can raise an enormous amount of funding for so many people to go so far away to help people that will most likely NEVER help themselves. But a local group of musicians, schools and such cannot sqeeze a dime out of … Continue reading Who Do We REALLY Serve
