Total Let Down ~ School Issues 2 ~

"I discovered early that the hardest thing to overcome is not a physical disability but the mental condition which it induces. The world, I found, has a way of taking a man pretty much at his own rating. If he permits his loss to make him embarrassed and apologetic, he will draw embarrassment from others. But if he gains his own respect, the respect of those around him comes easily." - Alexander de Seversky

The Second " First" day, started OK, However when I picked up kaid today, I noticed that his Training pants, were showing, drooping down, soaking his little shorts, his clothes were all dischevled, as well as his Sweet new shoes were tied in complete Knots. When I asked the Aid , he said he did not even notice. It took all my might, not to loose my cool right in front of everyone right there. I quickly put kaid in the car, Dialed the School and began my Numerous phone calls, trying to find out WHY he was not Changed, or helped to the Bathroom. Kaid, will go if you help him there, it appears as though no one did. Now leaving a complete rash on his back side. After having a complete meltdown ~ Again~ after picking him up from school, I just could not believe this was happening. First off, this is DAY 2 of the School year, Do you think kaids teacher called me, to talk about what happened, or to see how to best help him? NOT one call.. Me, I am On it.. Every Single Day, Calling the office. I received a Phone call this afternoon from the Principal, after explaining to her my major concerns and the one major being his toileting. I was told that Kaid's teacher was not able to review the IEP for him, as she just got them last week. Taking a minute to ponder that, I let it marinate for a min, and then told her, This was Not acceptable! I feel like we are in a nightmare, and I can not see the light right now. EVERY child deserves the right to the best and " Least" restrictive environment. What ever the case is, They really are messing with the wrong momma. I Do not want to fight, and seem like I am wanting this, I just will not allow him to be in a class to be babysat. Kaid can do everything, at first though he needs to be directed, with any kids with needs, repetition will make thing better. If it was up to me, He would be Pulled out of this school yesterday, and moved to Charter/Art therapy School. I am learning So much right now though, from being his Voice. I address this issues with the facts, and the rights that Kaid Should be receiving. This Lovely IEP, is Thick, its a blueprint for Staff, and teachers to review to find out more about him, etc... Not having them open it up, to review it.. Very Against the Law...So.. from now on, My blogs are going to be Posted School Issues. I have calls into several people , from the School district hopefully I will be able to discover why this is happening at this school. For school tomorrow, I am going to grab a Hot Chocolate, and walk kaid in to class, and observe for a while. We will overcome this
