How does one flunk 5th grade?

[FirstLight]

38. Update - the plot thickens

We are formally asking for a transfer to Independent study for the remainder of the year. We met with the director and teachers and REALLY love the format and the people. Laney herself said she liked that the teacher talked to her like a real person and looked her in the eyes...not like a kid that they want to brush off.
damn, my girl is soul-smart!

So we have had the flu/strep run through the family for the past 2 weeks.
I sent a request for homework to the school secretary and to both teachers on wednesday morning, and gave them till Thursday after school to have it ready. My son's was there...but not my daughter's.
my BF was asking...is this chick TRYING to sabotage our girl just so she can say she was right and hold her back? WTH?

so my girl tries to go back to class monday, still sick...hoping to get some of her backlog of work as well. She took it upon herself to write the teacher a note and tell her teacher she was disappointed her work wasn't ready, and asked the teacher if it was an accident...(she even had me sign the bottom so her teacher would know I knew about it and backed her up in asking this)
the teacher possibly threw it away
My daughter has stayed home the remainder of this week, still sick

Two days later, my SON overhears this teacher talking smack with the 4th grade teacher of my daughter...sharing the emails, talking about my attitude and my daughter's letter...all within earshot of his entire class! They were taking a test, so it was quiet enough for them to hear everything...

I *just* wrote another letter to the Superintendent, sharing all of this information ans asking him to respond in writing.

can you believe this?
I insinuated that we may need to transfer my son next year because now all the 5th grade teachers are against our family. I also asked if the reason my kids are being bullied is because they kids at school think it's okay cuz the teachers are talking smack about us?
I also asked if this has to do with our socio-economic status... just to scare him that I am thinking we are being discriminated against...

I'd LOVE to hear your input on this twist, guys...
