So Frustrated
You know I have been on this rant for a while with the school and tonight I got even more upset and frustrated. I really can’t wait until this school year over. I have had enough with incompetent people who really are totally uneducated about autism and really don’t care to learn about it.
I got an email from the special ed teacher Friday saying that they were going to continue the half day. So to me that meant the start time would continue to be 11:50. Since this start time we did have our struggles but Dakota did his homework with me very nicely. Towards the end of the week he was even more chatty and happy. He even wanted to do things again. He wanted to go places.
Well I got an email tonight that they want to continue with adding more time each week. I am so dead set against it. This time I went off I wasn’t nice about my email. I am tired of being nice. These people are that dense. I said first off all I am against this start time when I saw improvements in my son. I said you are not the one that will deal with all the repercussions this is going to cause. The kid needs a schedule and this is interfering in it. Just when he gets use to something it changes
Do they not realize that this increases stress in Dakota. I am so tired of them not listening. I said where is the routine for Dakota if you keep changing the time? Your putting him right back to where we started. I am more then irate.
I actually find myself wondering just how many parents would pull their kids out of Algoma School District and send them somewhere else if we didn’t have to fill out school choice. I bet there would be many of them. Myself included. There are better schools then this.
I told Dakota we were starting at 10 tomorrow and holy crap did he go ballistic. He was really upset not long after that a shut down came. Nice huh!!
I am DONE trying to work with the school. When I go back to the DRs in April with Dakota and if I find out that this heart thing has anything to do with stress the school is going to get hear it much worse. The school superintendent, the principal, vice principal, special ed director, special ed teacher, and the teacher they will all hear it from me. This time my phone calls won’t be nice because they have neglected to do anything about what I have been trying to tell them for months.
I have also decided to file a complaint with DPI the state of Wisconsin’s Department of Public Instruction. I didn’t do this the last time and I should have. I am going to now because this all is ridiculous.
Ok I am getting off here. I am done venting. Tomorrow I shall be back and catching up on reading blogs. Back to my regular posting.
By the way yes I am hot headed!! Felt good to get it out and vent!

I am going to Vicki. I have had enough. My husband knows that my mind is completely made up.
Vent away and do what is right for Dakota! You are his only advocate. If you don’t get in their faces and demand what he needs, he will never get it.

That is very true too! No matter what I demand it’s never fulfilled. Even the suggestions that were given to Dakota that in itself is a joke because you can give them all the suggestions in the world but they have their own agenda. I am so tired talking to deaf ears. I tell you one thing I will really be ticked if I find out his heart issue has to do with stress. Because I have been telling the school for MONTHS and they have basically ignored it.
Love your determination. Yah! for you.
