Okay, as a teacher, I think that is a bit much. YOu are not making her LEARN anything more, just write a bunch of stuff. If you want her to master the content, help her and give her an alternate test to do over. Then maybe she'll master the content rather than how to write a problem, huh??
Some people!!

back in the olden days my teachers used to beat us if we failed too much. we were VERY progressive lol.

nowadays though the punishment she got is way too extreme. she must've been heartbroken poor dear.

I think doing the math test 10 times is totally ridiculous. She was being punished not learning from that activity. I could see requiring her to re-do the ones she got wrong as a learning experience, but what the teacher did, in my eyes, was mean.

I don't even want to think about how much I gained in the past week. Ugh. Salad time! Ah ha. Can you send some of that weather my way? We're still sweating in Florida.

Ugh, I'm freezing, too! It's 45 degrees today in Houston. And, we don't have the heater on because apparently my DH is going through MAN-opause and is having hot flashes. In his words, "ya'll can layer and cover-up, I can't just run around naked because I'm hot." ... Fooey to that.

And, oh my dear at Princess' teacher!!! The whole test 10 times?!!! That's WAY too much for a 9 year old and I say this coming from an education background. TOO MUCH!! If I were you, next time I'd call the school and talk to the teacher about it. Sometimes teachers act out of irritation instead of truly assigning that work to help the student.

By the way, your CAPTCHA reads 'dying' .... How morose. :-P

Wow, That math assignment was not cool at all that...

Wow, That math assignment was not cool at all that is for sure. Oh yeah if I teacher told my kid that she was not going on a Field Trip I PAID for... uhh.. I'd be right in her class room the next morning.. geesh!

I live in Indiana - I am not offended that you dont like it. I am like 5 miles from the Kentucky and Ohio borders. We don't root for the Colts we are Bengals fans here in my neck of the woods. :D (We are 30 miles outside of Cincinnati) I would like to hear the story on Indiana tho.. It wont offend me.

I keep trying to watch what I eat and eat a bit more healthier but I just cant break the routine I am in. I wish all the running around we all have to do would just melt the pounds right away. *sigh* If only!

Have a great week.

Your right that doesnt seem fair! 10 times! How many questions were on there? I would be having a little meeting with that teacher! I am praying that Peanut gets into the magnet school! I know that will help yall out!
