SkiMom ... Fringe rocks the foehammer ... one of my favorites .... (Walter Bishop singing: "Hard Artichokes Rarely Keep, Norwegian Elephants, Singapore Sleep" --- as in the name of some secret project "Harkness". Among many, many other great moments.)

I have watched Stranger Things, Heroes Reborn, now just about done with The Returned ... also a really great sheww ... the last was originally a French series Les Revenants ... it was on the Sundance Channel but I didn't get to watch it .... dead people return alive ... not from the same time, some from seven years, six years, four years back ... a little boy shall lead them.

Flake, I brought my laptop to a friend's house and his daughter's cats tried to enter a reaalllly long password into it ... I assume one laid on top of the keyboard while we were gone ....

I liked Walter's 'vagenda' speech--really made me laugh! John Noble is terrific in this show, at every level.

Stranger Things was a nice little show, and I liked The Returned, the French version--watched it on Netflix. I didn't see the US version, but I'll take a look on your rec :)

We never had issues before with our district. My husband and I really did agree with "the team" all these years...until they let a teacher transfer in March of last school year. Our kiddo had been through MANY staff/classroom changes there already but was finally showing some progress with this new teacher.
When I got the note she was leaving, I wanted to cry...or strangle her. I wouldn't even go to the last IEP with her...I sent my husband alone, because I knew I would not be able to be polite to these people who pulled the rug out from under my son.

So, even though this new placement is out of district and costs them MANY times more than regular special ed, I fought to get him in.

Now, I just hope it helps, since it's pretty much the last resort.

You are his advocate. Keep fighting for every single thing that will benefit your son. And when things aren't working, be that loud voice. I'm going to keep your guy in positive thoughts that this year will be a breakthrough year!

Hang in there, it's an uphill battle. We've been fighting with the district for 3 years now (older son is ADHD) and winning mostly, compliments to my wife. Public schools are not capable of dealing with special needs kids. Hell, any deviation from "the norm" is not tolerated well. I'm cheering for you.

Kiddo's teacher wrote that he had his "Best day yet!" at school (granted, he just started there Monday, but it's nice to get positive feedback for a change!) :D
