[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 350376, member: 8617"] Yet another update, twists and turns like a nausea inducing roller coaster. This is almost more exciting than Christmas morning. I spent the day planning a full on campaign. I had hundreds details spelled out to the microscopic level ie; -Hunting down soon to grad. law school students from top schools who may be eager to make a name for themselves -Starting a non profit org. for a local class action suit with a website to accept donations for a legal fund -alerting the media -alerting every governmental representative from my local county board up to the Prez. himself plus everyone in between I had every intention of a full out, multi year battle. I was ready, ready in ways I have never been before in life. Then it happened, the school called and rolled over like a scared puppy. The co-director of our bi county spec. ed co-op called, never met her before. She was so butt kissy I think I'll have a hickey on my booty cheek for a week. Wanted to know what she could do to work this situation out. Wanted to see if there was some way to come to an understanding amongst ourselves. Oh reeeaaallllly? (said in obnoxious Jim Carey voice) Have an intimate meeting with her, the school psychiatric and myself, no other team members. Just us three ladies chatting, becoming great friends and not at the school under rude admins. prying eyes. We will meet at the co-ops office down the street from school. Enter sinister laugh here------->____(muah ha ha ha ha)________________!!!! I'm thinking when it comes down to brass tacks and laws being broken the individuals involved are not protected by the selfish district or the employee union. Plus my 5 pages of hellfire and brimstone describing what laws they broke and where they could stuff their paperwork must have rattled some rocks in their heads. Bear in mind it was coherent and professionally written, not ranting at all. Just stated the facts and I had others proof read it. (just mentioning that since I admitted being manic when I wrote it) It was just very strongly worded. I told the lady that this whole 6 month nightmare was ridiculous especially considering that all I wanted was a tutor/mentor during study hall so difficult child could be accountable for homework and grades but not at home due to OD issues. He needs sports for socialization issues and he needs grades up to stay in sports. That's it. No bells and whistles, no big expense, it could be someone already on staff. Simple as that. I bet they all feel a bit stupid now. Maybe if they had bothered letting me speak my piece they would have known that already. *grits teeth* I may still be shown some obstacles but the control is certainly in my hands for now. I won, it's almost over. Almost anticlimactic. I'm still sad though. I may have won but I can't get the bitter thoughts about a bullied aspergers kid who is all of 6 years old or the kid who never got the fm listening device. I won and I feel bad for selling out. I have half a mind to get the iep in place and file the civil rights complaint anyway. It would serve them right. That violation never vanished. [/QUOTE]
