Gage,
You’ve been doing pretty great since being moved to your new class. Some full days of check marks (yay!) and notes that claim "Gage’s best reading day ever!" and "Gage was focused and participated in everything we asked today!" You are just 5 days away from your summer break. I beg you. Plead with you to hold your act together just 5 more school days. Come on, you can do it.
Love,
Momma
To those of you with a compliant child who has never tripped a deaf child, spit at someone at school because they thought it was funny, or called an authority figure "butt head" this letter and the feelings around this letter must seem foreign to you. Trust me when I tell you that every day I wait in the carpool lane to pick up the boy I hold my breath. I wait until I see the Daily Report from his teachers. And then I exhale.

I hear you, sister.
Today, the school begged me to NOT hold my kid accountable for her dramatic fake illness and to just come pick her up early.
Mine is in high school, so I wait with baited breath all day to see if one of them will be suspended or restrained that day.
I hear you too. Checking the daily thing is always interesting. She’s got in school suspension now. Great huh?
I’ve been lurking for a while but I just had to delurk to say I feel your pain
.
I’ve got two on the spectrum and when my older one started high school this year, it seemed like the SpEd was on the phone daily to ask me to pick him up. Every time I walked into either school, I seemed to get bad news. Stressful stuff.
