Honor Roll Bay ba!!!!!!!!!!

My daughter handed me a certificate today when I picked her up from school. She told me it was for perfect attendance so I thought nothing of it. Got to the car driving us to speech for my son, look at the paper ( wrapped around a water bottle) and it says Honor Roll. OMG, OMG I am so excited first time ever and she gets honor roll. I told her all excited how proud I was. First thing she says is toy, meaning she goes to toys r us and picks out a toy with a 25 dollor limit.


Also on another note finally yes finally after a 3 year battle 1 formal compliant over 1000.00 later. School has added reading to his IEP, I can not tell you how happy I am. I mean IEP ,meeting after IEP meeting and my son not getting the help he needs, to finally get it is a godsend. I mean god is looking out and making a way. I mean before my son was even enrolled in that school we had a IEP meeting and told them he had a speech issue. I am not going into all that I just no that I am happy for my son. So daughter is on honor roll and son now has reading added into his speech IEP. Oh and had I hired the advocate I hired last year, maybe his school would have taken us seriously. I strongly recommend to anyone who has to deal with there childs school STC team in regards to developing your child's Indiviaul Education Plan and your hitting a brick wall at IEP meeting, hire an education advocate for your child. I say this because my sons school STC team broke rules and the law, only problem was when you file a complient, you can only go back 1 year. It irks me to the bone knowing these people laughed, smiled and said hello to my face and knew they were breaking the law.

I mean I did everything right, had him evaluated at the best locally known places Kennedy Krieger Institute to name one and everything and the school still kept saying lets wait till next year to develop an IEP for him. One year they told me when I had first brought up his reading to go out and find a program (sylvan learning center) to help him cause they (STC team) came to the conclusion he needed no help. I went and did just that. Though Sylvan turned him down ( which I am glad) only because he needed 1 on 1 tutoring Sylvan is group.

Anyway long story short. Thats the news
