DD got her first ever green attendance letter; shall I have it framed?

[KatyMac]

I normally say we 'opted out' of the scheme as it upsets her........but I had to show her

Does it show if you like what you are doing, you don't get as ill? or is it this 7 year asthma cycle I keep hearing about?

Who cares??

Well I was chuffed anyway

Didn't really understand the question .

Is it for 100% attendance, or attendance that is too low?

Bit tired here ... can't think too hard!

Yeah

Red is bad
Amber is less bad &
Green is good

& the red letter comes with warnings of failure and disaster

Could be the asthma cycle - but the winter flu season/asthma playing up is just starting.

Between the ages of 9 and 13 I was never in school. Then I had a few good years before a flare up when I was 18. Luckily for me school were very understanding and helped me catch up.

Dd's attendance will be down the swanee soon as the panto season kicks in!

Yes then ... have it framed, post it on facebook, maybe a copy in the school newsletter?

(My DD got 1 x 100% attendance certificate and I'm sure they got it wrong)

I wondered if it was all the exercise in a sort of 'physio' way iyswim

But actually I don't care she is happy & well (fingers crossed)

Singing lessons helped me a lot (can't dance at all don't know where dd gets it from)

fingers crossed too Katy.

She wants to start Modern & tap now.........there aren't enough hours in the day

DD does modern and tap. We made her wait until she was 9 to add those classes. I had agreed to either or then dh got involved and said she could do both! She is 10 now and wants to add contemporary but we have said wait 12 months - especially with panto this Xmas.

I dread to think what it will be like when she is your dd's age. At the moment we are juggling as it is. She has to miss her school carol concert and her Stagecoach performance becasue of panto clashes.

DD is doing:
5.5 hrs BTec Dance - mix of styles
6.5 hrs CAT - Ballet, Contemporary & Creative
3 hrs Ballroom & Latin plus practise
1 hr Ballet
1/2 an hour African dance

plus
1/2 an hour African drumming
1 hr Glee
1 & 1/2 hr Theatre
1 hr school choir
4 hrs gospel choir (this is only for another month)

dear god it's a job isn't it
