This is becoming a very sore subject with me. I am not the most popular parent at school because for 2 years we had the misfortune of having a teacher that could not ignore our oldest son's ticks and felt that she needed to punish him for every single one of them. I kept on her for 2 whole years and it made me the bane of their existence. To which I replied "too bad". If they could act like adults and stop punishing a child for having Asperger's, SID, ODD and ADHD and try to help him instead maybe we all could have had a better time. It is not his fault that he's this way and I will NEVER EVER stand by and let him be trampled on by adults that should honestly know better.
For years I have been the Lorax for both of our boys. I have spoken for them when they couldn't and still do. The staff actually hides from me at the school when I come in. What the hell is wrong with them? Is it because I don't let them do what they want to do and actually make them adhere to something more kind? Is it because I will call them out on the carpet when they do something wrong? I will not give up. I don't care if they like me but they have to treat our children with dignity and respect or so help me God I will go down the Governor's office and picket on how much this school sucks for special education. AND I will call every news station I can to get them down there so they can broadcast it all over.
On a side note they are not all bad. The school psychologist and social worker are just really good people and they think I'm a good mom. Although I hate compliments I use them to remind me that there are good people in this school and it makes me want to squish the rest like a bug under my shoe.
I had to get that out. If you got this far *high five*
