They called me this morning and left a message that they needed to get in touch with you. I called back when I got out of my meeting and did not get through. Tell them that you need documentation of his behaviors and what was done. You need a track record of the times that they need assistance or wants some one to come and get him. If this happens often, then they can't deny that they need help in order for Corey to get his educational needs met as he is entitled. I will keep copy of email for council for children.

I just returned from a meeting I do apologize but certainly I am not expected to be at the beck and call of the class room it has only been 15 mins or so since your initial call. I am not sure what is going on but I am not going to pick Corey up from school. I don't want this year to be like last year was and frankly I can't afford for it to. I have a job a real job which I can barely hold on to with the already extreme circumstances I live with. I can't just jump up and leave my job. If this situation can not be handled in his autistic classroom with 3 staff members trained to educate autistic children. What in the world can I add to help things? I will come down during my lunch if it is still necessary and do my best to settle him down if you are unable to but I simply can't afford to leave work every time you have a "situation" in the room...

We have been trying to get in contact with you concerning Corey. He had a tantrum this morning in the cafeteria this morning around 8:00am, it is still continuing. He been hitting, pinching, spitting and digging his nails into myself and our two assistants. Currently he is with security until you are able to be reached. We need a response from you immediately. The principal has requested that he be removed from class today, to insure a safe learning environment for the rest of the class as well as the teachers. Please let us know what you want us to do.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

On my god sweetie. I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you go through but I gotta say I admire your strength...I just hope this settles down. Hell I hope they get better qualified instructors at that school, it seems to me that they are lacking in that department.

I am so tired of the school system. I can't even describe how tired I am of them. On one side I have a highly intelligent child that at the age of 10 is already disinterested in school. And you know we have had many conversations about how much it bothers me that Cam is just "doing his duty" when it comes to school.

Then you have Corey who is supposedly on the receiving end of all the resources and all I can say is "THAT IS A JOKE!!!" They can't even make it through the day without calling me to rescue them.

There are not many times I wish to win the lottery, but I can't tell you how much I wish I could afford Brisbane Academy (the private school for special needs) and Charlotte Catholic or some other private school for Cam...

Hear Hear!! I'm crossing my fingers for you on the lottery thing lol...but it seems to me that this school system IS a lottery, a crapshoot where you hope to win, but regardless of how you try you end up getting screwed more often than not. Not cool!!

It occurs to me how appropriate your icon is on that entry...of your feet...I am proud of you for putting your foot down and making them, I dunno, do their job!
