I am supremely pissed off at my daughter Sage...I almost feel guilty writing this but honestly I just feel like....fuck it!! If I don't get this off my chest now, I'm gonna blow my fucking cool and it's not gonna be pretty.

Let me start by saying that she absolutely sucks in school...She's never been a very good student but since she's been at TMS she has basically given up on trying, or even caring about getting good grades. And they always seem to mail out the report cards when I have PMS....Perfect timing!!

I'm so tired of her bullshit. Both Troy and I have made ourselves available to help with her homework, we've encouraged and supported her...I've tried to make reports and other projects fun, I've gone to conferences and all her teachers basically said is that Sage just doesn't care.
What...The...Fuck????? Then MAKE her care, you overpaid, overrated, BORING, un- educaters! Why does she come home with 3 hours of goddamn homework?
Why?!
Why do I have to do your fucking job when my tax dollars are paying your useless uncaring asses to do it??! Is it because you're too busy in your pathetic attempts to discipline the Highwoods kids? Or the kids that are trying to be like them? When I asked if my daughter would stay back...I was told no. And believe me it's not that I want her to- but usually when a child is failing everything, they aren't promoted. So I'd like to know how the TMS administration can sit behind their desks in that big brick shithole and promote uneducated kids because they don't know what else to do with them other than stick them in the Upward Bound program! How do they sleep at night?

Of course it's not all the schools fault that my kid is failing. I hold her accountable as well. But I'm so beyond disappointed and I'm tired of trying to convince her that an education is the only way to grow to be financially independent, that it liberates people from the grip of poverty and despair. (AND FROM RELYING ON A MAN TO SUPPORT YOUR SORRY ASS).
I'm so tired of giving her 110% of my love and support when she doesn't even put forth a a little effort. She's only 12, so I refuse to give up without a fight, but damn. What can I do beyond grounding her and taking things away? It doesn't work!
Does that mean I'm fucked?
Because it sure seems that way.
