Motherhood, The Second OldestProfession - Plot & Excerpts
When my son entered the first grade, his teacher asked to see me. She began our meeting by telling me, “He verbalizes during class, periodically engages in excursions up and down the aisle, has no viable goals and seemingly no definitive conception of his role expectations. Peer pressure seems advised at this time.” “Are you trying to tell me my son is goofing off?" “I would not have expressed it in the vernacular, but you are correct.” When he was in the third grade, a teacher at open house opened his folder and announced, “To categorize the problem as simply as I know how, your son has challenged group management techniques, our academic expectations, and our sense of efficacy with his declining attention span, which at this time does not occupy a position of priority.” I took a shot and figured he was goofing off. In the fourth grade he was still goofing off, but he was described as “lacking the basic skills of competency and languishing in his academic environment, even though he has not attained his cognitive limits.”
