the IEP meeting for difficult child 2 was, well, not very productive.
The intervention unit apologized profusely to me for their ignorance in changing the IEP and allowing the changes without my knowledge or consent. The current, legal IEP reads difficult child 2 should be out of the E.S. class 21-60% of the time. Before he was moved to the current foster home, he was out more than 60% of the time. He is now, in the new school, in E.S. 80% of the time, out only for gym/wrestling and art (art in 10th grade??????).
Anyway, FM was present. Rambled on about how she doesn't believe in medication in children. She is sending him to the YMCA several nights a week, and feels his behaviors in school will greatly improve because of that. She is now (I guess) the "ONE" that will change difficult child 2 for the best.
She claimed he was previously ABUSED in the last foster care. OMG, these people fed her tons of lies (the caseworkers).
She rambled, I looked the other way. I didn't speak to her. I didn't look at her. I didn't speak or look at the caseworkers either. I focused on the school team, my son, and them only.
He is getting no homework. How can he possibly mainstream anyway when he doesn't know anything about homework? They're going to start giving him some and see if he can handle it before thinking mainstream.
The team wants to take it slowly, it's just too bad nobody wanted to start this about 5 years ago. This is why I push so hard for Dylan. He will NOT be E.S. in high school.
I was very annoyed FM was there. She kept on and on about how strict she is. She took away all his nice clothing when he was bad at school and made him earn it back. No Nintendo DS for a month when he's bad in school. You tell him. I give him 90 days before he's crying abuse with her, too. But no, stupid FM, doesn't want to hear anything I have to say because I have an attitude. Okay, do it your way, dumbo.
He lied about work. He's not working. He did get hired at McDonalds, but that was nipped immediately because of behaviors at school. So, no, he's not working, his job that he never started is on hold.
He lied about the basketball team. He told us this grand story of how he's 5th string (or something like that) on the basketball team at school. Nope, no basketball team, unless you count him playing off and on at the Y, but no team.
So, little lies going on. It's no wonder he's wanting out of the foster home so bad. Apparantley she's stripped him of everything, which is fine with me, and making him earn it back.
Court in a week- I don't want to go. Guess I have to. I will still ask for him to come home, but nobody else wants him to. In all honesty, looks like he'll be staying put. That is the recommendation, too, from CPS.
