Subject: In regards to this Thursday
Dear Andy,
After much reflection and multiple upsetting events these last few months, and your last minute decision that Leilani will not be attending
school tomorrow, a critical day before our final presentation, I regret to inform you that I have decided that Sonja
is not welcome to attend Thursday morning, our last school day of the year. It is our hope that Leilani and
you, Andy, will attend and participate for the sake of all our students, and families.
After almost 30 years of teaching this program, I know it to be essential to our school community that we have a solid working alliance, communication and cooperation between the parents/families and the staff at KEA Homeschool. Unfortunately, this has not occurred for all of us.
Leilani has been a lovely addition to our class this last year, and our staff has observed how much she has benefited socially by being a part of our group.
Please let me know that you and Leilani will be here Thursday. We all would appreciate Leilani being a part of our last, special day.
Sincerely,
Robin
Just as added explanation: Andy did not let Leilani attend as there was a hike planned that day, and I had not spoken to, phoned or emailed Robin in over 2 months. Kauai is lovely, but sometimes I feel like I do not jhave enough choice here…
And just because it’s cheaper than psychotherapy and made me feel better:
And the grade report 2012/2013 just so you can see how much Leilani learned in the second half of the year… lot more Cs here…
