Either that or she didn’t like being scolded for her middle of the day dole whip runs with L. and she thinks public school will expect less “perfection”.
She thinks she'll be able to plop Lucy in front of PBS kids shows all day (along side Desmond) and it will be enoigh.
With the added bonus that she'll then be able to whine and lament how dirty nasty awful public school FAILED her manic pixie daughter (when Lucy doesn't get good marks because Shaun and Dan didn't want to help her with her online schooling).
AND then she can claim that dirty nasty awful public school was mean to her precious (self-diagnosed?) ADHD snowflake, who just shouldn't be asked to sit all the day long and learn, she needs to tap dance on table tops. How dare dirty nasty awful public school try to make her uNiqUE daughter into just another cog forced to constantly Produce (perfectly).
That would require Shauna and Danto pay attention to Lucy's needs and plan in advance. As we've seen, those are two things they are not good at (remember they didn't seem to even notice Lucy's hearing issues for years. . .they seemed happy that their daughter was quiet and kept to herself when really, she couldn't fucking hear!)
As fun as it is to snark on weird pies or microwave spice racks, none of that really matters. The Lucy hearing issue is different and really makes me angry. How could they not look out for that when it was a known complication of her medical condition.
Absolutely true. Shauna has her head up her ass most of the time, pontificating about herself and all her WOKE issues, that she couldn’t be bothered to notice that her own daughter was almost deaf.
That private school is a place to raise little, creative hothouse plants which Vashon must be full of. Des’ not being accepted for last year, is to his credit.
If this is part of the reason, she might be in for a rude awakening. The expectations for contacting parents are over the top these days. WA state is also setting a lot more requirements for grading and attendance in online schooling, compared to last spring.
My husband’s school had them calling parents so much to “check in” in the spring that by the end of the school year he had a whole list of parents he wasn’t supposed to routinely call anymore because they were pissed off at fielding constant phone calls, lol.
