As each of us in our varied lives journey, sometimes we will post photos, videos, or just thoughts of what we are going through. It is but one way we stay in touch.

Algebra and Allie

Just got off the phone with allie's algebra teacher. Seems she is missing 19 out of 31 assignments. YIKES. She could fail. Yet on her last test (systems of equations) she got an 85. She knows it, but is not doing it.

Some of it is time management - too much time on computer.
Some of it is perfectionism. She won't turn in incomplete or shoddy work (but something is better than nothing).
Some is good old fashion depression.
Some is probably boredom.

Well, I have a challenge ahead of me. To help her be successful here despite any of the above.
