I don't like Mondays, da da da (Still)

You know that song, right?? Anyway, my week has starting out with this email to Tom's core teacher:

Good Morning,

Just a quick notes, I told Tom that we were going to opt out of the standardized testing because I didn't want him getting more stressed out.  I wrote up a note for him to give you but that made him more nervous because now he would be doing something different than all the rest of the kids so my attempt to make things better may have actually made things worse so "well done, me".  Best of luck with that.

Jennifer ;)
