You know whats frustrating the politics involved in the schools regarding ESE. The schools get so much money for EACH child enrolled and receiving ESE services at the school. But god forbid that child actually need that money for their own educational services. Not only do they require proof which I get, because I would be just as pissed to find out that funding went somewhere else. But its like you have to sell them the proof. Its all there! Black and fucking white!!!!!! RIGHT THERE… But unless you go down there stomp your feet and rub their noses in it like a dog that shit on the carpet they don’t see it. A giant pile of steaming feces on that pretty carpet and they don’t understand why your yelling. And then to add insult to injury when they finally realize what you’ve said to them and given them all the “evidence” and “proof” they could ask for because trust me they ask for ALL of it. Then they take the “Are you SURE your child needs this? stance.. Are you shitting me. If I didn’t believe that this was 110% percent necessary I wouldn’t be at the school 4 separate times in the last 6 school days.. Seriously why would I waste my time and my breath saying this is what we need to do. And then be like well maybe you’re right.. I’m flabbergasted, I just spent the last two weeks researching other options, and beating the shit out of myself with worry because I need to do something but I worry about the affects in regards to my son. Are you sure? I seriously wanted to ask them “What the fuck do you think?” And then of course well it can’t be done right away.. Things like this take time, and need district authorization.. Seriously?!?! We made the class change three months ago without any district personnel there saying “hey this might not be a good idea.” But three months later with educational and behavioral regression, Now they need district personnel because well moving him back might not be the best option for him… I’m standing here dumbfounded wondering if I’m the only person who actually heard what they just said. I’m not taking no for an answer. I’m not one of those parents that balks at confrontation when it comes to my child. They want to play this game and they are going to lose. I know my rights, and I know all the procedures and safeguards and I know where my resources are. This school has picked the wrong Mother to have this pissing contest with.
I want to apologize for my unprofessional manner. I have to keep my composure when I’m doing all of this at the schools and sometimes you just have to let it out.
On a lighter note Garien’s winter vacation has been extended another 4 days. That was the soonest they could get the district staff available for his IEP meeting.
