It is early, and I don't usually like that, but it might help it feel more like Spring.
AND....Daylight Savings Time begins on Saturday night! :sohappy:
WOOHOO!!!! :sohappy::sohappy:
Don't we lose an hour then?
I thought we gained one? :shrug: All I know is that it stays light later :sohappy:
Check your blog, Bun - I answered four.

Good morning everyone! The children are at school and for today, got to wear spring jackets!:sohappy:
Morning Jenny! :sohappy: for Spring jackets!

Hi Jen!
I'm glad you played Bun's game...she was somewhat annoyed. :dazzle:

Yay for Spring jackets! :sohappy:

Finally caught up....would like an opinion. Abby came home Friday in tears because a boy in her class was yelling at her for messing up a project they were working on. Which she wasn't, but he wanted things done his way and thought he could do it better.
Now I know she's ten, which is a charming pre-adolescent age :rolleyes:, and she will run into little _____ _ s her whole life. She has to learn how to handle things and all that. But this brat does this all the time...calls her stupid, she can't do anything right, and as far as I'm concerned bullies her. Should I e-mail the teacher about this? Abby's self-esteem has really taken a hit here.

:( Poor Abby.

I would definately talk to the teacher about it. She should really step in and say something to this kid.

That's a tough one Jenn - it's hard to know when to step in and when to let them handle things themselves. I think I'd e-mail the teacher confidentially and explain the situation, and let her keep an eye on things. At this age, jealousy is a big issue with kids, and it shows up in many forms. Just keep encouraging Abby at home.

I think you could email the teacher. At least you'd be making her aware of the situation, if she isn't already. You're right in not wanting to intervene too much...Abby will learn to handle this type of thing on her own...but at the same time, since it's not a one time thing, she shouldn't have to be an object of his torment, and he shouldn't be allowed to bully people in order to get his way. You'd be doing both Abby and the boy a favor by letting the teacher know.

I tend to agree. He's clever at being a kiss-up when the teacher's (or any adult) is around. But this has happened too many times in the past for me to adopt a 'wait and see' attitude. I know junior high is tough - but I'm hoping having a larger group of people will be an encouragement to Abby to broaden her circle of friends.
Thanks guys! :kiss:

I would probably email the teacher. I know I don't like it when I get stuck working with someone that always wants to do things their way. If you email the teacher then they could keep an eye on Abby and the kid, and maybe he will stop.

What I found with both our kids once they hit junior high was that they met kids who were much more like themselves, so even though they were still considered dorks or geeks or whatever, they had friends in the same boat, so that helped them out a lot.
