Our district is ridiculous. People who know NOTHING about visual impairment should NOT be trying to make unilateral decisions about the needs of visually impaired students. I hate that you are going through this.

You know Finley best. I think I would definitely get a lawyer. Also, If they are uncooperative in placing Finley where you and her aide feel is best, I would go to the school board and the newspaper. This is truely absurd. I would do anything I can to draw attention to how unfair they have been. It's their job to ensure Finley is getting the proper education. I think they should be very afraid that if they don't accomondate her, you could make it very hard on them legally. I'm sorry to see they are such jerks and it has to get to this point.

Our desire to want to very best for our children is simply how we are programmed. Every now and again we will meet folks who don't quite understand the fierce love that we share with our children. This is as dangerous as stepping between a momma bear and her cubs. <br /><br />This is one of your shining moments as a parent. You need to dig deep and find your inner bitch. Bear your teeth, whip out your claws and let them know they stumbled into the wrong place. This is YOUR child.

Hi Jennifer and Mat,
This is S...<br /> April 4th, 2013<br /><br /> Hi Jennifer and Mat,<br /> <br />This is Shayla and I think that Finley should be allowed to attend 2nd grade, also that the school system is unfair to parents! Her teacher who knows her best out of all the others should be allowed to come to the IEP'S with you. So you feel better about the decisions ahead. So you have peace of mind too.<br /> It simply isn't fair.<br /><br /> I really hope that things get straitend out soon. That good comes out of her IEP.<br /><br />Wishing You All The Best!!<br /><br />Friend,<br />ShaylaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7645316839408259043.post-315318920333059942013-04-04T22:49:08.263-04:002013-04-04T22:49:08.263-04:00I say if they can show where the law states that y...I say if they can show where the law states that you can't invite an employee, then that would be the end of it. the fact that they are giving you the run around kind of explains it all. Keep fighting for your daughter, even tho you shouldn't have too. The student, special needs or not, should be the main concern of school. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
