Update on home invasion: the 25 yr old man that came into our house and terrorized us is now in prison. He was offered a plea bargain and he took it. He will serve 2 years in prison, 3 years of parole, yada yada. He has to pay restitution and if he slips up at all in the next 5 years he will serve 4.5 more years in prison. Knowing justice has somewhat been served DOES NOT make anything better. I still have anxiety from hell and think that if something like that ever happens again, I may adopt the idea of shoot first and ask questions later. That being said, onto other things...
Ok, so school, both mine and my kids, are thorns in my side. It's like I just can't catch a break. I have a big test in anatomy and physiology this Tuesday and am terrified! But that is less than my issues with my kids' school.
A&J are in separate classes. J, my son, has a wonderful teacher who is really doing wonders with him. She has put these great measures in place to keep him from breaking down. Then there is A's teacher. I really don't know what to do anymore. In A's IEP meeting it was amended so that we will get a report on her behavior everyday. We want to make sure that her ADHD is being handled well. Well, it seems that the teacher still doesn't give a crap! She sent home a message that said A Good Day. Really? Seriously? The IEP states that I am supposed to get a morning report and an afternoon report. Can I legally slap this teacher?? I am so frustrated. I think next week the principal and I are going to have to have a little chitty chat about his old school teacher and the fact that she needs to retire if she isn't going to give a crap about her students. She has outlived her usefulness as a teacher. I don't care if my daughter is learning to read and none of this teacher's students leave kindergarten without being able to read. My daughter has an IEP and it needs to be followed!!! There is a reason that she has one! Why couldn't A. have had the other teacher?? Maybe we should try to switch districts. That may be a better option. They miss their old school anyways! Then I'll just complain to the board of ed about "Ms. I know better than the parents". This woman has me fired up! My daughter is slipping through the cracks and it seems that I am the only one who really cares! Anyone else out there have similar problems? I need advice...
