We are only in preschool though. <BR/><BR/>I had considered homeschooling as well but my teenagers prove to me all the time that they are smarter than I am. FYI- the more children you have the lower your IQ. I have 3 leaving me with the mental compacity of a teaspoon. :D<BR/><BR/>As for the book, I am sure the mother meant well. I've read it and the comment the mother made about not being able to put it down may have been because it was a very simple and short read that even I was able to finish in a evening. An amount of time I can never get back I might add ;-)dgibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635544947372447974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-60046637307889126222008-01-15T03:54:00.000-05:002008-01-15T03:54:00.000-05:00I put up with this kind of stuff with Noddy, when ...I put up with this kind of stuff with Noddy, when he went into 4th grade--Junior was in kindergarten. The things you write are so simalar to what I put up with and struggled with. The times I cried...I just feel your frustration.

I was absolutely serious when I said I wanted to homeschool Jaysen, I've done a little looking into it in the past, and I just don't think Jaysen would be a good candidate due to his strong attachment to me. I too, apologize for not making myself clear. :)mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-43243139417580365152008-01-13T22:03:00.000-05:002008-01-13T22:03:00.000-05:00mommy dearest-It really is a violation?

Hopefully you will be notified in the future. <BR/><BR/>I did not meant to infer that you should consider homeschooling. I know that is not an option or answer for everyone. Most days I am not even sure it is the answer for us! I never dreamed of homeschooling, believe me. Please don't think I am saying that is the answer. I do understand how difficult dealing with the school is and know it is a full time job. I did not mean for my comment to come across crass. I apologize.Marla https://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-24308359365437349932008-01-13T18:32:00.000-05:002008-01-13T18:32:00.000-05:00Eep to the book.

I was one of those aspie kids who didn't say what was going on at school ever). And after much fussing, got me switched to the advanced english and history class, but I had to stay in advanced math and science. There are all kinds of issues that resulted from that, but I'm not going to go into that since this is your blog and we should be talking about you!!!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190156589792785626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-53665674147897501382008-01-13T13:29:00.000-05:002008-01-13T13:29:00.000-05:00Forgot to add that last paragraph made me laugh an...Forgot to add that last paragraph made me laugh and choke at the same time. It's almost an assumption from autism parents all we all think alike. I personally would have returned the book with a simple no thank you.<BR/><BR/>Again, I hope you can get this all straightened out. The school just keeps putting it's foot in its mouth. Jaysen deserves better and I hope the school can finally get their act together and give him the services he needs.michele_khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426600211128116761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-81845706719740926422008-01-13T13:17:00.000-05:002008-01-13T13:17:00.000-05:00I'm sorry you and Jaysen are going through this. ...I'm sorry you and Jaysen are going through this. It's not right. I'm finding I can't play nice when it comes to my daughter's education. She has a 504 Accomodation and it's not being followed. Nothing I've done has helped so I now have to call in the efforts of an advocacy group. From everything I've been told this group doesn't do nice at all in regards to the schools but they will get whatever the child needs done. I have a feeling I'm going to have to do the same thing next year when my son enters the same school. I've heard little to none about the autism program there.michele_khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426600211128116761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-58713649608709028152008-01-13T09:59:00.000-05:002008-01-13T09:59:00.000-05:00Marla- It actually is a HIPPA violation.

We could have done a meeting with the parents another time, but this was supposed to be for his classmates.<BR/><BR/>It was an opportunity for his classmates to receive information and ask questions- on their level. We all know that kids act differently when there are adults present- some kids may have felt they couldn't ask questions they really wanted to, or they shouldn't ask. They may have felt it better to let the adults lead the conversation and ask the questions. I don't know- I wasn't there, and I would have been.<BR/><BR/>I would love to homeschool, but the reality is I can't afford it, and I really don't think Jaysen would respond to me as his teacher too. I think that would be really confusing to him!mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-54479346617672137672008-01-12T23:45:00.000-05:002008-01-12T23:45:00.000-05:00The last paragraph is a "classic".

A friend did this once to me with a homeopathy book. Okay. I read it...so what? I do not think homeopathy will cure my daughter's seizures. Ugh! <BR/><BR/>Anyway, with the school I would let it go. Just my thoughts. Maybe the parents there enjoyed it and learned something. I guess I would see it as a good thing if parents were there. They need to learn too. Am I missing something?<BR/><BR/>I don't think it would violate HIPPA since it is at the school. Parents should have the right to attend anything their children attend at school.??<BR/><BR/>I hope the school situations calm down soon. I am looking into part time schooling for M but when I read some school related posts on blogs I remember how nice it is not to deal with schools.Marla https://www.blogger.com/profile/03926898159751613267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-54297666860927723512008-01-12T08:21:00.000-05:002008-01-12T08:21:00.000-05:00I have never played nice - not from the moment my ...I have never played nice - not from the moment my daughter entered school at age 2 1/2. Nice doesn't win battles. It is going to be a long, hard road - one that will exhaust you and have you wondering if you are doing the right thing. You are - stick to it - visualize your son's future. That will keep you going.<BR/><BR/>Instead of reading Jenny McCarthy's book (what is wrong with that mom?), I suggest reading The Art of War - a much more valuable resource (and I am not kidding).Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-91681229514709341402008-01-12T03:34:00.000-05:002008-01-12T03:34:00.000-05:00Ive never gone along with playing nice!!
