SS has a math quiz every week. I keep asking him “How did you do? What mark did you get?”.

For the last month SS’s answer is always “I dunno” or “I am not sure. I think I did okay.”

I had enough and said that unless I see results by the weekend, I am calling the school. Weekend came and went. Still no results.

Meanwhile, DW and Donkeykong are still in “talks” over tutoring.

So I called the school and spoke to the secretary who said she’ll pass the message to the math teacher. Math teacher calls me back and says she doesn’t have all the results on her at the moment but she will get SS to write down all his results in pen in his agenda book, she’ll sign it and I can review it.

SS was supposed to bring his agenda book with the test results in it yesterday.

I come home from work and all the kids (BS, BD and SS) were playing in the living room. I walk in and the first thing I say is “SS, I want to see your agenda book please.”

SS pretends he doesn’t hear me and gets very uncomfortable. So I repeat myself. SS goes to his room. BS and BD try to follow SS but SS prevents them from going into his room by closing the door on them. I think SS has gone to get his agenda book.

Five minutes pass.

“SS!” I call

“What?” SS responds half-heartedly.

“Your AGENDA BOOK!!! Get it out here now!”

SS opens the door and gives it to me. I flip through it.

There’s nothing.

“Where are your marks?” I ask.

“Teacher didn’t give them to me.” SS answers.

“What do you mean she didn’t give them to you?”

SS breaks down and starts crying (Reset SS waterworks meter) and starts telling this long sad story about how the teacher asked all the students to get out a blank piece of paper for the next in-class assignment. SS didn’t have one. One thing led to another and the teacher yelled at him for being unprepared…

This story was extremely conflicting (not to mention confusing).

“Why didn’t you have any blank sheets of paper SS?” I ask “Your Mom and I bought you tons of loose leaf.”

“I dunno.”

“Did you have them with you in class?”

“Yes.”

“So what was the problem?”

“I dunno. She said I was fooling around.”

“Why would the teacher say that?”

“I dunno…”

Gargh….This is so frustrating. Even more frustrating is that DW believes SS. But I STILL don’t understand why SS’s agenda book was empty.

I’m sure there is more to this story.
