First Day Frustration!

Hello all! I know it has been a long time since I have written, actually it hasn't been that long I was blogging for a while from my phone but they all got lost in cyber space. So much for that, oh well.
You haven't missed much.

So allow me to set this up a bit. Last school year Jacob was in an E.S.E K-4 class at Cedar Grove and we all thought that he did not belong there. But he got stuck in the system and labeled and E.S.E. I called his new school (Cherry Street) when the teachers all stated and pleaded with them to get him in to a main stream class. When I went to enroll him that is where they put him, in main stream. So I thought that was where he would stay. I thought wrong. I got a call yesterday from the guidance counselor saying that by law he has to be placed into an E.S.E class until we can have an I.E.P meeting. So we took him to his E.S.E class this morning. Guess what I found out about it. Jacob is one of 3 students in the class, the other 2 are 4 year old mentally handicap children. So I went home and vented to everyone who would listen. When my mom came home two hours later we decided to go get him from school. We asked them how soon we could get an I.E.P meeting and she said that she was trying to get it done as soon as possible. She said that she has already seen Jacob in his new class and she and his new teacher both agreed that he is definitely not suited for that class. He is much to advanced to be in that class. All I have to say is why didn't they listen to me in the first place? It would have spared me a lot of trouble. So we pulled him out of school and filed papers for him to be home schooled until we can get an I.E.P meeting because by law he has to stay in that class until one is scheduled.

So that is pretty much what is going on in my life. I will try to get back soon and let you know what is going on.
