Romeo

Happy June 1st!

L's school is having the traditional Grade 12 prank day (you don't want to hear all the horrible stuff they have planned). She is receiving a surprise subject award this year, wonder what subject it is? She went to a party last night because all her friends were going.

I'm stressing that if K fails Math he will have to do a credit recovery in the summer and I don't know the details of how that happens, registration, etc. I know it's only 2 weeks in Grade 9. The psychologist that recently diagnosed his non verbal learning disability is supposed to send us a summary report but it has been delayed by her daughter's wedding. M says nothing can be done until he actually fails something but he's going to check with Guidance again.

Meanwhile, we helped him memorize his lines for 'Romeo and Juliet' that his group has to perform in class. He's done a good job with it although he thinks the language in Shakespeare's time is absolutely crazy (what? what on earth are they saying?). They had seen a production of the play downtown recently and he swears this 'Romeo' actor cheated by writing the lines on his arms. He said 'Why else would he keep raising both of his arms above his head all the time?' We laughed at that. He wants me to buy him a New York Yankee's baseball hat for some reason. It must be in fashion.
