Okay. I've calmed down a little after letting time pass. Talking to that teacher was pretty depressing. But the form did get turned in, and there are a couple of good things from outside school and a couple of school extracurricular things on it. At least he's in the running, even if he shot himself in the foot in getting there.
Moving forward, I decided to tackle a couple of other malingering problems. Finally got the electric company to recognize their second service penalty that wasn't fair and to waive it. Finally. This started in May. Now I'm going to beard the credit union and get a couple of accounts straighted out and moved.
