What a week. I just found out that Micah has sleep apnea and has to have

tonsils and adenoids removed. Not something I am looking forward to. Then we

went today for our sub-committee meeting to discuss Micah's placement for

next year. They are trying to talk me into putting him into the self contained

classroom half a day next year and I am adamantley opposed. He has done

well in the regular classroom there is just not enough support so of course

they

want the self contained and I want more support in the classroom. I was

told they didn't do that in this district. I said " Not my problem, he has

proven to be able to do well in the regular educational environment so you

provide

what he needs or find an inclusion kindergarten in a neighboring district.

So of course the meeting was tabled and we will take it up at a full

committee meeting. You will love this though, his OT who I have been after to

work

on his writing skills keeps saying he is not ready. Despite the fact that we

are working on it at home and beginning to have some success because I MAKE

him do his work. Her report was that he can make horizontal lines now and

circle's. I said " Well he has been doing that since before he started

school. "

SO the chairperson says " Well see he hasn't made any improvement " I said

" Really??!! " And let it hang in the air. Everyone knew what I meant,

someone is not doing their job. You should have seen the looks on everyone's

face

when it registered. I am so frustrated because I am going to have to fight

this district every year. but I will not give up. I am so tired of them

getting

away with not following the law. I woke up with a nasty head cold this

morning and feel like you know what so I am very cranky to say the least.

Thanks

for listening guys, I just needed to vent!!

Loree Mom to Micah, hear me roar!
