Splat Goes Life.

That might be a bit overly dramatic, but right now I just want to see a few people get their asses kicked. I mistakenly thought that the I.S. had "fixed" the issue with Jack's schedule, but apparently she was full of shyte. She told me she'd emailed the guidance counselor to have the schedule fixed, but I don't think she really did. She also told me several hours later that it was, in fact, fixed.

I do not have the stats for how many are "special needs"- on an IEP, a 504, requiring constant supervision, etc.. NO idea. I do know there are well over a dozen Intervention Specialists at this particular school, and they each have any number of kids to attend to in some way, 5 days a week. So, again.. I get that. BUT! what I do not get is the lack of communicat...
