[QUOTE="badgranola, post: 383306"] Up until yesterday I was employed at an attorney's office as a paralegal. I lost my job due to "restructuring" as well as my absences I'm pretty sure. I've missed a bit of time having to run to school to pick him up then try to find a babysitter for the remainder of the day for every little thing. I swear, it's like he's under a microscope. I do have an advocate that I'm working with. I did ask that the school put in writing why he couldn't return Thursday, I will pick it up on Monday. My advocate told me that it is a violation of his rights to ask me to keep him home the day after the event since it was at aftercare and the fact that I was called from the assistant's cell phone rather than the school line seemed sketchy.
