So the book report project is due TOMORROW and SD11 hasn't done anything on it. I asked if she had homework tonight and she did a "paper" (as any fifth grader does a paper) on an article the election. I read it and it was HORRIBLE! As a fifth grader she should be writing so much better. The wrong there, should have been their. No capitalization on state names, sentences that don't make ANY sense. And I didn't fix it for her because if I went through the whole thing and fixed all her mistakes, the teacher would think that she is a good writer, instead of a real crappy one.

We got the comparison of her 3rd and 4th grade standardized testing scores and she went down in reading, making her part proficient. She's only barely proficient in math and writing. Scary because she is in middle school next year where it gets A LOT harder.

And like I said, the book report project that she has know about since school started basically, and didn't do a damned thing about it. BM and DH have no clue about it, only me who pays any attention to her school work. Oh well, hopefully they all will learn a lesson.
