The school system has made yet another decision without consulting the parent. Today I was told that Zach is being released back into his regular school because he has behaved well at DAEP. His behavior outside has not changed, but they feel he has learned his lesson. Now he has to make it to the end of the school year without incident, or he will be sent back to DAEP to finish his time. What don't they understand? Another disciplinary report will be added to his record. He will have the ability to bully yet another child. I can see how he became the child he is today. No one really cares if he changes or understands about consequences. I am so tired of being told what will happen. I am tired of being told how things will go.
And no one was going to notify me. I had to ask today because someone told Zach last Friday he was being released today. He wasn't going to tell me either. Sherry told me.
I am at the end of my rope. I have meetings until the end of the year. I am supposed to leave those meetings when I get a call that he has done something else? I have done that for the last 13 1/2 months. When do people start listening to those who actually know the child?
I told him today that we could start over today, that it would be like I just got here, and he and I would have a clean slate. I asked him if he could do that. He said no. To me, that speaks volumes.
