We are homeschooling

We decided to go ahead and homeschool. We are pretty confident that its not worth trying to work out with he school. They are not following IDEA and we don't have the time or resources to fight with them. Hannah is our priority and we are going to spend our time and energy getting her to enjoy learning & life again. We filed the papers today.

We still haven't heard from the school about the abuse charges. I called the investigator yesterday and he said he was finishing it up. We thought we'd hear by the afternoon. The principal tried calling this morning but I missed the call. I was on the phone with our HS supervising teacher (he's an unschooler & helped write the IA homeschool laws). Dh was on the phone with a customer. We tried calling back but he was out. So we are still waiting. I'm really ready to put it behind us and move on. The stress had made me & dd sick and dh has a cold sore. We need this to be over. But if it is "founded" then it goes on to the police. I want them held accountable and not working with kids anymore but I just wish it were over.

The kids did a great job at the wedding and they had fun! :) I think dd's meds might be helping. She even danced at the reception which I never thought she'd do. She's still not sleeping through the night but it may just be a habit now. Crossing my fingers anyway.

Samantha,


Good for you taking this brave step. I know Hannah has been miserable in school for quite awhile now, and after that incident, I don't see how you could ever trust them again.


You may
