On the second day of school as a Jr. High student, I am seeing how long
this year is going to be for Jayden. She talked about all the trouble she is
having already. She has very little time once the bus gets to the school to get
to class. The teachers have such high expectations,
they only have 3 minutes between classes, Jayden says she runs to her locker
gets her stuff and hurries to class. She said the hallways are crowded, kids
push and are mean. The 8th graders are scarey and mean and treat
them like little kids. The school lunches are not edible so I send a lunch every day. During lunch with her sack lunch, she sits down to start eating and nobody
comes to sit with her. My heart breaks. She runs in PE lots of laps in the last class
of the day and has to hurry to catch the bus. Right to volleyball practice with 3
minutes to change, no chance to get a snack because they aren’t allowed on the bus.
They do even more running and her legs were so sore tonight. I could tell
she was sad, she just sat with her cat for a long time thinking. I gave her a
hug and she began to cry. That is when I knew it was hard for her, she never
cries from school. Jayden is the student that every parent wants. You never
have to help her with homework, she is responsible, school comes easy for her
and she generally likes it. I t makes me so sad to see her unhappy.
