3rd Graders are odd...

but that's ok.  They're also a lot of fun!
I had a great time with Jared and his classmates on their field trip to Luray Caverns (way back at the end of April).

Spending time with Jared in his school environment really got me thinking, though, about how much I need to be fighting for his best interests.  I should expect that his teacher notice he is there and be able to pronounce his last name by the end of the school year (right?).  He's had two years now of sub-par teachers and it has been disappointing for me as a parent, but also for Jared. 
4th grade will be different.  I'm not going to just hope that he has a good teacher.  I'm going to expect that his teacher will give him the attention he needs and deserves.

I hope so too. Nothing is more important than a good teacher. I still remember all those I found influential!
