Time to reflect......

The last couple of days have been touch & go to say the least. Still trying to figure out what exactly the school was/is trying to do regarding Caleb. He passed. 1 B, 3 C's & 1 D (math). Promoted to the 5th grade. Last year at Little Creek. I know they will be happy when the final year is over. Still having problems with YCAPP. Ms. Baily is still insistant on talking to Caleb's dad. But not me. I really don't know what her problem is. She had stated that she doesn't want to call me cuz she can never get through to me so she won't call me. I got a new phone so that problem can be avoided. I have called her several times (with no return call). I am tired and I am fustrated at dealing with all of this. It is hard enough to deal with Caleb (well not all that bad really as time goes by you get used to it)but to have the problems compounded by a difficult father and a support system that is designed to help you and your child that's not.... well it leaves you to wonder. I don't know maybe the wear of the day and the events that have unfolded during the past week have made me a bit touchy. I just want what's best for Caleb and to make sure he doesn't continue t get labled for the rest of his life. Even his therapist said that the school needs to step up and realize what they are doing. Yes, it was wrong for Caleb to all mellow dramatic on everyone and drop a crap load of f-bombs but that the school was being unfair to. His dad claims that based on his behavior Caleb will be in juvie by the time he is 14 and he is starting to collect the bail money now. I asked him if he really saw that then what is he doing about it? All these things against him that's what I see. So if I stick up for him and take the time to find out what happened and try to figure out how to make it better. That's not spoiling or making excuses for him. It me trying to figure out a proper solution. Which is better then all these yahoos trying to throw him under the bus.

  1. Yikes, sorry to hear you're going through all of that. Dealing with schools (and their oh-so-helpful staff who seems to always assume our childrens problems are the parents fault) has always been a huge problem and probably the greatest source of stress for us. Hopefully you can get 'dad' and the school onboard for your sons sake!
