Tonight I'm going out to rock and roll with a woman friend that I met out dancing the last time I went out for music. (Months ago, btw).

E-mail me if you don't want to talk about it here.<BR/><BR/>My ex has been a public school administrator, district superintendent, and now works in public school advocacy. I know all about this stuff from the OTHER side---and believe me, now that I'm not bound by the Public School Advocate Code of Honor, I will use *everything* I know to protect my children---and anyone else's.<BR/><BR/>Teachers and principals are mostly wonderful people who love and care for children. But there are plenty of exceptions---and they can do real damage if you don't fight them. District offices are always looking to cut costs, and special needs kids can really bear the brunt of that. It's not that they don't care---but in a world of limited resources, the squeakiest wheels get the grease.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it just helps to know that you need to raise the volume on your "squeak."Wormwood's Doxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882756844690851674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8644066357702894216.post-90369329242164934512007-11-29T09:30:00.000-05:002007-11-29T09:30:00.000-05:00Eek.
