We're also checking into Tawas to see what they offer, and considering part-time enrollment while part-time homeschool for AGS. Just making sure we consider all options and choose what's best for Caleb, not best for the school. It's just frustrating when everyone seems to work against you, and throws out words that are so NOT true about him.Jen Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059530185924430397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342272713956379061.post-77226726701110988512009-03-06T22:15:00.000-05:002009-03-06T22:15:00.000-05:00Jen, you are in our prayers!

Just know that you need to do whatever you have to and don't worry about what anyone thinks. I know this is very hard on you guys. That school just does NOT have the resources. Hang in there. You will make the right decision.

However, I'll do whatever is best for my son. I will NOT have him be everyone's "guinea pig" at this school, nor everyone's excuse for not putting in more effort. My husband is a teacher (junior high), and an effective, compassionate one. However, it's just frustrating to see a whole line of elementary teachers that have their own best interests first....MEAP scores, looking good to save their job, etc. The politics in the profession are overwhelming the actual teaching.<BR/><BR/>You're right, though. These are times that we are led down a better fit, into a better plan. I just hope we have as much success as you've had! Keep us in your prayers!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments!Jen Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059530185924430397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342272713956379061.post-78514531133207577332009-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:002009-02-26T14:30:00.000-05:00I feel your pain!

We moved last year to another state in order to have an educational environment that was appropriate for my son.<BR/><BR/>It seems that school districts are so mired in process, lack of innovation, lack of motivation - I often wonder if they even remember why they are there in the first place (my parents are life-long public school teachers).<BR/><BR/>These times of discomfort are times of opportunity. If I wasn't so mad at our previous school district, my son wouldn't be in a fabulous school now. If my past pediatrician weren't such an ass, I wouldn't have doctors 'on the payroll' that heal rather than treat. <BR/><BR/>Keep an open mind and I'll send some good energy your way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
