[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 152621, member: 1697"] grrr, I am livid. I talked to guidance office at PCs high school today. My easy child has taken extra classes every year, could have graduated last year...she has taken AP (advanced placement) classes and honors classes, as well.....she chose NOT to graduate last year becuz she was too young to go to the uni she wanted to go to at that time. She has full scholarships and grants and has completed nearly everything to be set to go to college of her choice in fall. NOw she came home and said she is now 1/4 credit short of a specific area - and it is a problem for her college attendance. I called guidance today to confirm, and her counselor is out (again) on leave. The person I spoke with pulled PCs records and gasped and said OMG, I am SO sorry---that info IS correct, this is unheard of. yes it IS a problem. The college might NOT accept summer school class to correct this.... AND------our school does not offer any class in this needed area in summer school. AND summer school is $355 PER class....and is in session Mon-Fri 7 am till 1130 am. easy child was dependant upon working full time plus this summer for more money for at college.... AND heck.....with us on soc sec disability, I do not have this kind of money. I said to guidance counselor I was talking with- I do not understand, HOW did this happen? Isn't that what guidance counselors do? How could my dtr be short a critical credit like this? We have made it clear with guidance office all along, easy child was on college track. This guidance counselor (who is not PCs counselor) is appalled. Shocked, and quite upset. Well, she sure could not be more upset than easy child or me. I am livid. easy child is crushed and ready to give up. I am SO tired of school, police, court, always dropping the ball, and then seemingly simply shrugging their shoulders and saying "oops" and leaving things in peices for families to try to pick up. See, had court for the case where easy child was an ongoing victim of a crime that her and difficult child reported to school along with one of their friends - they reported the crime back in 1999. The school decided to not do anything at all.and in 2005, the friend went to police again.and the perpetrator got arrested------easy child has been questioned, and listed with 6 OTHER girls as an ongoing victim since 1999-2005...... I go to court at least once a month, following the case...and victims advocate told me last week, it will NOT come to trial before CHristmas, but when it does, easy child will be subpenaed to testify against the man.....and if she does not come to testify, SHE will be arrested? Does not matter she will be gone to college out of state......worse, in Dec the defendant asked judge to refund back $35,000 of his bond (reduce bond by $350,000) becuz HE just had a new baby, and needed the money, and look he has been to every court date?

They refused to come.....we tried calling animal control, but- they were closed...and the line has been busy all morning today. Tired. I am tired. I do not understand all the rules, laws, policies, regulations about ANYTHING. Sure seems to me that noone anywhere here in any position of authority, power or responsibility really wants to do anything if they do not feel like it at the moment. Oh yeah- and when easy child first got her license and went for a drive, someone began throwing eggs at her windshield, while she was driving, and they also followed her a few miles------the egg splattered and obstructed her vision..and then it damaged the car windows and car paint....she had her cell, called 9-1-1..police came, chased the guy, caught him..but- refused to write on police report about damage to car....even after us and our car insurance company confirmed damage- and they only wound up chargeing the guy with disturbigng the peace and then they dropped that charge in court, as well, even tho me and easy child were in court- saying they did not have enough evidence for the charges. Tired. I am tired. Disgusted. Does ANYONE anywhere DO their jobs? Our school sure has failed all 3 of my kids, now.
