IT GOT PRINTED!!!

The letter I wrote to the Editor about my daughter's meds and her school's harrassment, that is.  It was printed on Sunday's edition of the paper...we all know how much more readership there is on SUNDAYS!

So get this...parents on my son's baseball team came up to me last night congratulating me on putting it in writing.  They said someone needs to open up the can of worms on our educational system here...(speaking of the elementary school's reputation for receiving 'Exemplary' status almost yearly).

Anyway, since my daughter isn't Special ED, and the fact that they called (the counselor and the teacher) twice to ASK us if we wanted her scores to not be counted....one of the parents (who is also a teacher) told me that I really should look into any legalities being broken by that.

Anyway, if you want to see my letter you can go here.  Mine is the one titled TOO MUCH TAAS EMPHASIS. (and yes, it was edited a little to make it shorter).

Wonder if her school read it yet?? 

Anyway, I don't think this is far from being over.  I have this deep feeling...................................

Oh!  YAY YAY YAY!  Good for you!  I'm glad I stopped here to read before I head out.  I hope this kicks some ass for you.    And even more importantly, for the children affected by it!

I went to the link and read your letter Cyn. GREAT job. I hope this will wise up that schools policies and give kids a fair shot at things when there are problems and special circumstances such as your daughters. It's sad that you even had to go this far to begin with.
