Now that I've read it on here, I'm just more irritated. Why don't schools use/send textbooks home anymore for reference so we can help our kids?
ReplyDeleteEvery time I turn around I have to go get on my computer to get on Google or to check this thing just to make sure I have my child doing the right worksheet.
This packet thing is very frustrating.
Well, that's generally a budget issue. Textbooks are expensive. We don't send them home because they get lost. I'd much rather not make copies!
ReplyDeleteI marked each page of the packet with the date it should be completed. I tried to make it easier. I'm going to call you, Joy, and we'll work it out.
Thanks for everything! I bet it's just because I have a hard time focusing due to my being ill! Thank you for being so kind! I appreciate it!
