Good for your school for doing the right thing and giving your son the help he needs. Sorry about the book- that bites.

That's wonderful that the meeting went so well, and your son got all the accomadations you were advocating for!

I read the Time Travellers Wife a while back, and remember feeling very much like you did. I loved the first half of the book, and then forced myself to finish slogging my way through the second half. I haven't seen the movie...I'm not sure if I want to or not.

Books that leave me unsettled BUG ME! I mean, authors should know better, right? :)

Yay for IEP items getting approved! So glad your LOI worked, hee hee. (I had a mama bear who went to bat for me, I am convinced my scholastic success was 50% HER doing. Good mom you are for making sure he gets what he needs).

2010-03-13T08:24:59.569-08:00

Have you seen the movie of Time Traveler's Wife? I read the book before I saw the movie and there's no way I would have understood the movie if I hadn't read the book. I had to explain to my friends what was going on.

I'm so happy to hear someone say they got the services for the child they so desperately need!

Here's to hoping the same happens at my meeting for my son!

No luck - I doubt I'll be posting this weekend for your edification. {*grin*}

You could always go the the 80th birthday party for my old junior high football coach. I suspect that will be a lively party.

You go Julie! Stick it to them! Make them get off their butts and do their jobs.

I've spent the last two days speaking with my son's various teachers and therapists and it has not been a fun ride at all. I'm ready for his ARD to be over with after spring break.

2010-03-12T13:16:09.010-08:00

I don't remember a BIG difference b/t the 2 parts, other than... what I think you're talking about, and THAT made me really angry too. I felt dirty, and was crossing my fingers the whole time through the movie that it wouldn't be included. Thank goodness! Made the movie great!

I totally agree w/ you on the book.

AWESOME about your son's school. That is rare, and wonderful!

I want to read that book but now I am not going to because I am sure I would end up disliking it like you did.

I bought a copy of The Time Traveler's Wife a few years ago and have never been able to get into it!

2010-03-12T12:05:59.748-08:00

I just want to stand up and applaud you for being your child's advocate. I work in a school district and know the system better than I'd like! I just want parents to be informed like you are about the rights of their kiddos! And ALL, I mean EVERY ONE of your requests was COMPLETELY warranted! Great job!

SO Glad to hear that meeting went well.
I had mixed feelings on TTW. I do think the book would have been about 1/4 shorter if they had removed the 'f' word!

Yay for you...the best Mom ever!

And I know now not to buy that book.......

OH YAY! So glad the meeting turned out successful! Thanks for the book review! I will be skippin' that one! Have you seen the movie? I wasn't really planning on seeing that either!

2010-03-12T08:27:28.459-08:00

I just hate when that happens with books. I've had to quit reading a few too when they get too disappointing.

That's great news about your son :)

I love the movie TTW but the book was blah. Did not finish it and I am ok with that.

Congrats on getting your son the help he needs.

2010-03-12T07:14:15.643-08:00

Wooo for the board granting all of your requests! Amazing what one involved parent and advocating teacher can do for the life of one child. So happy for that!
Also, the book -- loved it! Loved the juxtaposition of the light and dark. It was really sad, though, and at some points, I wanted more than what we given. But overall, I think it was a good read.

I'm so glad the meeting went so well! Yay for teachers and moms who fight for their kids! I have a few letters I could write this week, but I don't know who all reads my blog and I don't want to cause any more trouble:)

2010-03-12T06:35:56.040-08:00

I'm so glad to hear your meeting went well! Having a teacher on your side instead of fighting against you can make all the difference in the world. Congrats

2010-03-12T05:46:37.975-08:00

I am so glad that you got everything you needed for your son in the meeting. Don't you just love Teachers that push for what is best for individual students? Awesome.
I haven't even see the Movie yet. Gosh i gotta get out of the house more.
