Gavin is lucky to be graduating. Arrgghh! Here's the story:
Gavin decided that he didn't want to take 10th grade PE and that he could easily do it online. Fine with me, but I left it up to him to get started. Finally after two years, I put my foot down and told him to get it done. He talked to his counselor (who is new this year), signed up for the class she told him to, worked hard and finished up in a few months.
A few days after he took his final, he went and talked to his counselor to make sure everything went through. Umm...he took the wrong class. She told him to take the wrong class! Are you kidding me?! And, no apology, no offer of help, no options, just, "you took the wrong class" - the class she told him to take. Grrrr!
He had three weeks to complete the right PE class. After looking at the requirements, he realized he needed to keep an exercise log for 12 weeks. The math isn't working here.
Not going lie, I spent a night crying. My 3.8 GPA son wasn't going to graduate from high school because of a .5 PE credit.
Early the next morning, I called and got an appointment with Gavin's previous counselor, Mr. Bills (we loved him and were so sad when he wasn't Gavin's counselor this past year). We explained the situation to him. He didn't seem too surprised. He worked at his computer for a few minutes and with a few clicks he signed off the PE class. Such a relief. We love Mr. Bills!
Now, Gavin is on track to graduate!
