back where we started . . .
By Lesle | November 10, 2008
If I had known that we’d wind up back where we started, I might have done some things differently. I might have made some different choices. Oh well.
Ian had a particularly difficult time readjusting back to his routine after Hurricane Ike. He became so disruptive at school that he was expelled for two days and we had to have an emergency meeting to figure out what we were going to do to move forward. The school just called, and after review by all the necessary people within the school district, it has been determined that the PASS program is not the best fit for Ian.
They have decided that he would be better served by the program that supports autistic children. I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly. So I am excited he will be in a stable environment that will allow him to flourish academically; but I am worried, because, once again, he will be changing schools.
He will actually be returning to the school where he attended pre-k and kindergarten. The school where we first realized he had issues, but where nothing was done to identify the problem. And this is where they host the autism program. Interesting. I know the principal, and she is very capable. But I’m still concerned about the lack of support when Ian attended kindergarten. That will be something I address when we have our ARD meeting on Friday.
So we’re back where we started. If I had known then, what I know now, I would have just stayed in our original home–where my children were born–and kicked my ex-husband to the curb.
I wonder if it’s too late to go back home. :-)

I hope everything works out and that Ian not only does well in school, but enjoys school! (((hugs)))

Aw Lesle, that stinks. Hopefully things get better at the new/old school. I also hope they work with you better there than the last time and if it’s up to me you can go home again:)

I’m hoping things are going to be better than you could even imagine.

Hoping for the best for both of you Lesle. I do a lot of those if only I knew, but why kick ourselves? Everything happens for a reason and we learn because of it.
