HI Shellyville,

Jackson is in need of some attention. He wants me to write about his good looks and write him a poem. I did write a poem called my Blue-eyed boy, but now he wants another one. So demanding!

Jackson,
My boy of 8
Is constantly on my mind
from dawn to dusk his attention is a must!
He is a melting pot of emotions
that can be stirred up at anytime
I love that boy of mine.

He said he "likes it!!"

Good, my work here is done!

If only his school year was going as easy. I tell ya, kids with special needs are not thought of very kindly in our school district. His teacher wants me to write another letter to the district administration. I still don't know why I seem to be the only parent with a voice. It seems to me that some parents are ashamed of their children and their needs.

Why? Have we lost sight of our goals? I know my child will never fit into the "standards" of society. So why do we push so hard for this? If I, as a parent can see my child for who he is, why can't others?

Next week we have meetings set up with the teachers, Jackson wants to meet with the Principal and tell her what is going on in his classroom. This year has been so horrible. I can't understand what is happening. It is just over whelming all the changes and problems that have occurred. I don't know how to fix the problem other then pulling Jackson out of his "special needs" classroom and putting him back in a regular third grade class.

I can't do that without an IEP and it will have to be set up as soon as possible. The saddest part of all is that I have had to increase his medication to handle this. It makes no sense that administration have ignored the true needs of my child. I better get busy on that letter, because this time I am really not holding back. I wish I knew a lawyer.

Have a wonderful day!
