frustration mounting...

[Guest guest]

I am beginning to get really frustrated by the school district; I can't believ I

want to work for them!

I went to apply my youngest in kindy and the principal asked if my older son was

at another school in the SDC program. She mentioned getting a waiver for my

youngest to go there and I told her we didn't want to have to drive him. Then I

said something about maybe sending him back to this school. Her words were

something like they SDC program that they had was for higher functoning kids!

WTF? My son is completely high functioning, the only problems he had were based

on the fact that he was bored to death (imho) so he was non-compliant if he

didn't want to do something. He was way advanced academically to 99% of the

other kindy kids at the start of the school year. Anyway the issue I have is

that they never, ever gave me an option of keeping him at the school because

" they couldn't service him " and that he ahd to go to the SDC class because they

were the only ones that could provide what he needed. Well, the school

psychologist is supposed to be calling me to talk to me about this because I

would really like both younger boys to be in the same school. Possibly ask for a

re-evaluation as well since it has been a year since the last one. Apparently

his assesments rated him " too low " to be at this school. The principal even said

something like he wouldn't have an aide with him in the regular class because

they only have two aides for SDC. I mentioned thet he works independantly at

kindy and he is no longer sitting at the table with the aide so that shouldn't

be a problem. I don't know, I am at such a loss at to what to do. Part of me

wants to keep him where he is but part of me doesn't. It's just so frustrating!

Thank you for allowing me to vent. If I could afford a lawyer, I would probably

get one. If I could afford an independant evaluation or even a personal

assistant (for him), I'd do that, too. UGH!
