School tour
This afternoon Jessica, Namine, and I will be touring what we hope will be Namine’s new school. We’ll see. Hopefully this time around her teacher(s) won’t partition her off as “Special Needs” without understanding what it is that she truly needs, in terms of education and activity.

School’s out

School and therapy
We kept Namine home from school yesterday due to a fever. Because she can’t go to school until 24 hours after a fever, we’ll be keeping her home today as well. We took her temp before bed last night, and it looked like it was going down. Hopefully she’ll be able to go to school…

School orientation, for real this time
On Thursday, Jessica and Namine went to the orientation for her new school. Now that Namine’s health is under a little more control – she’s still congested (as am I now, so I think it’s just one of those things), but she isn’t really coughing anymore – I can devote a post to talking about…

Liars, cheats, and IEPs
There are few things worse than finding out that someone has lied to you. You trusted this person, and they betrayed you. Deliberately, willfully, they lied. But the situation we’re left with is not the real problem – but where do we go from here, knowing that Namine’s teacher is willing to lie to us,…
