Parent teacher conferences were today, and went largely as expected. Darby got all kinds of praise, though she's missing a couple assignments, and "surprise" she talks too much. She's a very likeable kid so the teacher, having moved her three times now, is having trouble putting her somewhere she won't talk so much, as she gets along with pretty much everyone.
Shelby has many missing assignments (some of which we witnessed her do but have disappeared into Shelbyland), no surprise there , and many focus issues, though it's been getting better recently (might have just taken some time to get used to the way the new school works) says the teacher. There are volunteer tutors available so we put Shelby on the list to get some extra assistance as she can always use it.
While it does seem like Shelby is doing better, I don't see how she can pull her grades up all that much by the first report card. I'm just hopeful at this point that she can salvage the semester.
