@ Maria and I @ |
Looks like homeschooling for rest of this school year - every school is
full and after looking into it again, I just can't send Maria to this
public school here - it would be like throwing her to the wolves.
I have to be calm and take time to come up with plan, and be very
organized. I am going to hire tutor for math and science and I will do
language, Lit, and social studies.
There are home school groups where they do social things and joint
field trips etc to alleviate social problems (being with other kids)
and her friends are right there for her . . .
I swear - we see lawyer today about bringing action on her behalf
against the school. If we have a case, we are going to do it. I hate
litigation, but boy they fucked her over.
Just don't know how I am going to do it all.

To force school to re-admitt her and to cover cost of damages (hospital
which they insisted on, and emotional distress they caused Maria). But
mostly, to show Maria we will fight unjustice done her. She needs to
see discrimination fought. Also, she wants to fight them very badly and
to force them to accept her back (though I don't know that I think it
is good for her to return).

i'm sure she won't be recieved very well if they are forced to take her back
and she needed the hospitalization regardless of the school ,

I think you've hit on a really bad idea there!
Nothing beats peer isolation like homeschool.
I have to be calm and take time to come up with plan, and be very
organized. I am going to hire tutor for math and science and I will do
language, Lit, and social studies.
Don't post about how stressed it will make you.
There are home school groups where they do social things and joint
field trips etc to alleviate social problems (being with other kids)
and her friends are right there for her . . .
But not for long because when she's not there everyday then she doesn't
"fit" in their lives anymore. Children don't "do" long distance
relationships.
Occasional field trip contact isn't a social alleviation.

against the school. If we have a case, we are going to do it. I hate

Your lawyer will enjoy taking your money for the duration of the trial.
Just don't know how I am going to do it all.
You will be overwhelmed by it.
Rosena
Don't mean to be harsh, but I've seen homeschool kids and it's usually
the parents I look at as being strange and the kids are victims when the
real world hits.

my son has two good friends. one left school three years ago to
be homeschooled. the other just started in a seperate middle
school this year. they see each other most weekends.
my other son has a good friend who he hasn't been to school with
since he was four. he's ten now. they don't get together often,
but that's mostly because they live 25 miles apart. they do talk
on the phone, though.
it takes lots of effort on the kids' parts, but if they're real
friends, the friendship can survive.

Franz,
I am not sure about lawyer - I tend to think we should let it go. But
one consultation is okay.
Home School - I am stuck. There just is no school with a spot open.
Next year she can start the public high school and she has been in
public all her life. I do not WANT to home school. But the public
middle school here is full of police, fights, drugs, weapons is under a
court order to clean up its act and I just can't send her there for the
rest of this year.
Maybe I can send her to school out of district? I will see. I
appreciate input, I am leary of home schooling for all the reasons you
stated.

He'll tell you to go for it, but there's no guarantee of winning of
course and you may wind up paying a fortune to him and then having to
pay a fortune for the other guy's lawyer.

So you can stress yourself way the hell out trying to give her the same
education or you could just declare it a semester off.
I missed huge portions of school due to lack of attendance yet my grades
didn't fall, it may be that she pretty much knows this stuff already and
is bored to death. Send her off to volunteer work or something. Teach
her in the areas in which she's lacking...I just don't think that trying
to play teacher is a good idea. Especially not the kind of massive build
up you're talking about if it's for a single semester.
Oh and the world is full of police, fights, drugs and weapons too...so
it's something that you can't shield her from forever.

Out of district is a much better idea.
