Well Victor didn't pass his GT exam but I want to talk with the GT councel to see if they took into consideration his behavior modifications before we totally discount this. The Special Ed teacher from the school called and told me she hasn't sent home a copy of his IEP because she hasn't completed it. Well, I've been on this teacher's case for the last two months because she hasn't been following Victor's IEP. If the Special Ed teacher hasn't completed the paperwork tho, it reasons that the teacher hasn't seen the modifications since we sat in that meeting oh so many moons ago. I can't fully fault her for not doing her job if she's not been supplied with written documentation as to what his modifications are. However, I do not want to go to school just yet and apologize for being so hard on this teacher yet because I do not want it looking like I am just buttering her up so Victor can get a better score on his teacher observation and assessment of behavior.
I did talk to Victor about his happy heart and he informed me that that's where his pokemon live. He's 10 years old and believes in Pokemon just as strongly as he does Santa Claus. We've tried to explain to him that Santa is more of a feeling not a real person and his brain understands it, and he'll tell you "I like making up Pokemon" but he'll also tell you that anything is real as long as you believe in it. So while he knows that Pokemon aren't real, he believes it, so it's real to him. This is his way of thinking. Sigh. The point behind this is that Victor says when he's feeling sad, he'll go looking for his happy heart FIRST. So thank you.
Well, I am calling the school tomorrow to leave a message for the GT coucil rep and for the special ed teacher and for the principal. GT council rep to ask if she considered his IEP when tallying scores, the special ed teacher to get an ETA on his IEP and to the principal to inform him once again that I do not have any spare hours in the day to be the Vice-President in charge of Membership any longer. I've been trying to tell him since before the board was voted on but he won't listen to reason, so I'll probably have to resign formally. Sigh. Fun and joys. Anyways, thanks for listening to me complain. I hope to have more good news for you ladies tomorrow and thank you all for helping me see the beauty behind sometimes feels like the beast.
