So I was reading this blog the other day about how teachers are so busy with their own lives they barely have time to call student's homes, let alone visit them at home. Well. I think that's bullshit. If you care, you'll make the time. Both my sisters go to school in the Bronx. If Alex gets into the high school she wants, next year she'll get out, but the high school school Danielle wanted was in the Bronx so that's where she goes. Most of her teachers don't live in the Bronx. They live in Scarsdale or Brooklyn or somewhere.
Some of Dani's teachers called to check on her since she's missed so much school this month. Two of them came over to go through some work with her. One came last week and brought a pudding pie. One came over the weekend and brought her sons with her. Danielle is way behind in her work. She'd almost caught up after her swine flu before getting sick again. Except that Dani told me she didn't really understand what she'd done.
For most of last week Danielle put so much effort into being able to breathe that she couldn't concentrate on schoolwork at all. Yesterday was the first day she stayed up for the whole day without needing a nap. Today Danielle started making noise about going to school tomorrow. I told her she can go Wednesday.

Better to be healthy before going back then going to early and getting sick yet again. Good call. How wonderful that they have made time to help her out.
