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 don't think it really was. WHY, you ask? Because despite my emailing the guidance counselor myself to verify the changes (an email which she never received), I got an email from her this morning, to inquire about it! (She emailed to say that she and the I.S. were sitting there in her office, and that they wanted to know what changes I'd like to have made to the schedule. I mean, can you imagine my surprise? Yeah.. a tad surprised).
I did NOT ask the I.S. to change anything, when I first found out that Jack would not be getting the classes she initially suggested he take. I did inquire as to the schedule not including them. There was no follow-up on her part, asking if I'd like her to make any changes. I actually said that we did not need to fix it- we'd just take the schedule as-is, and deal with it. So, to my way of thinking, this isn't my fault. Sure, I could have just kept my mouth shut and avoided this whole thing. BUT.. I had no idea of the reasoning behind Jack not getting these computer courses. (I wouldn't have known until probably the next IEP, that the person doing the class he would want to take in another year, had since moved on).
I really don't understand why it is so difficult to just ASK the parent if they want you to go to all of this extra effort. I can't even say that she went to the "extra effort", because I don't have faith that she did anything in the first place. The fact that she went down to the school "early in the morning" to fix the schedule- how early? Because we were there and his schedule hadn't been altered. (Of course they probably print off the stack the day before. I have no idea). If I should have had faith in what she told me, I lack faith in her ability to communicate with me. (This is not the first time we've had communication issues, and she hasn't been very accommodating when I've pointed this out). She didn't just email the guidance counselor and then wait for the word that it was taken care of. She actually emailed again to confirm it. Plus, the guidance counselor never got my email- didn't know til I forwarded it to her today. So how is it they're having a meeting about it today? It just seems like total bullshyte to me.
