So we are new to the school district and second term report cards just came out. There is an obvious mistake on the attendance record listed on DC's (grade 1) report card. It's not horrible, but it indicates a few more absences than are correct.
I called the school and left a messege. The school hasn't called back, but DH saw my list of actual absences on my desk. DH is ANGRY at me for "being THAT mom and making a bigger deal about this than it is". Um, it's the official grade report, I called once to get a list of the dates that they have in their records (the secretary was out so I had to leave a messege), and the school makes it a point to go down hard on attendance. My guess is that the days were recorded incorrectly on the report card, but the official record is correct. I just want to confirm that this is the case.
Am I making too much out of this? Was calling the school over the top? Will following up on this make me "THAT Mom"? DH is so upset that I'm following up on this issue? I need some perspective, am I out of line?
