cell phones and school.....
| Wed, 10-25-2006 - 11:59am |
I bought Chase a firefly cell phone in the event he needed me or something went wrong at school. As I've mentioned, he only goes one hour a day and has never been in the public school setting. The school is not trained in ASD's. A firefly only allows him to call me for his dad. A note came home today saying he can't have it so I'm outta there. To be honest I was almost looking for an excuse and this was just the one I needed. Chase wanders off easily and is very naive...I had explained this to them but I get the feeling that they just don't get it. Since I'm home schooling it's just not worth the effort.

geez. Can they be a bit helpful in teh accomodation department? I told Cait's school this as well. They wanted me to get her a cell phone rather than being responsible for her. Problem is she loses EVERYTHING! I told them I would get ehr a cell if they could guarantee it wouldn't get lost at school.
She is getting better so I will consider it. I just have to talk her dad into it. Thing is, I am not worried about her running up minutes. She is not a big phone talker anyway.

I've been thinking about getting Haley one of those too. She really wants one.
That's a real shame that the school wouldn't at least try and work with you about the phone. :(
