[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 558092, member: 1514"] I feel your pain. Cory was in a wilderness program for 16 months. It was considered a private accredited school. He was disenrolled or unenrolled or whatever it is called from our local school district when he was sent to the wilderness program but even so, he had been in a self contained classroom when he left at school A. Well at the start of his 7th grade year (he entered wilderness in 6th grade), I get a call from our neighborhood school but that isnt the school he went to or would even return to because he was enrolled as a self contained IEP kid. They should have never had his file. Anyway, they call me up and tell me about 6 weeks into the school year that they have noticed that my son has been missing quite a few days this year. I got very tickled and played along and said "What? Your kidding me? He isnt going to school?" They told me that he had quite a few unexcused absences but he did have some days he did attend. I asked how his grades were. Oh they were okay. Good. I was about to split my seams. They said I needed to get a doctors note for his unexcused absences. I told them, but I dont understand, I have made sure he was on the bus. They kept telling me he wasnt there all the time. Then I asked them if they were sure they had laid eyes on my son. Oh yeah. I then told them that would be a really interesting considering my son was living 90 miles away and going to a private school there and had never even stepped foot into that school! Nor would he when he returned from the wilderness camp. He would return and go to School B. Lord did they sputter and fume. This was all the work of a guidance counselor who disliked me because of something that went on with Jamie. She knew he had a younger brother and was trying to get me in trouble for truancy on the younger one. Really...I would keep him out 6 weeks? LOL [/QUOTE]
