Why didn't you show up at the school when your voicemails were ignored? Why didn't you make a fuss in person when your son was flunked for turning in his "E"xcellent work late after you made arrangements with the school for independent study? Obviously, the vice principal & the grading teacher did not talk to each other and work out this plan together. Why didn't you protest?
You can't homeschool if you're not adequately educated to do the job. I admire you for your honest self-assessment about your skills. That means that you've got to MAKE the school perform better. You have certain rights if your kids have been accepted into a special ed program. You just get on down to that school & make it clear that you're not going to shut up until they do the things they have to do to get your son educated.
The school was over five miles away and at the time I didn't have a car.
Because of the bullies from my own childhood and the abuse, I am not emotionally strong enough to have such a loud voice. I am emotionally weak.
He did turn in all his work on time, the school just ended up losing his work.
Regardless, what about my son's severe emotional scars towards school?
My son has been through therapy, all three of us have. We have all taken the medications for depression, anxieties, you name it we took it. Because of the medications my 13 year son now has liver damage.
What I failed to meantioned was that my 13 year old son had lied about the school sending him home until his new glasses came in. Yes, I did give him a consenquence for lying to me, but that does not excuse what the school did.
I am the only parent my boys have.
Even if I had the courage, the voice to yell and scream at the school, what about my son's fears of schools and their bullies?
