alicevangelineI've recently felt like, I really know how my body feels when it's either of those things.
And TBH, I am feeling both those kinda ways right now.
had a school meeting about lizzie and - honestly, the school personnel are having the same fears about her success next year that dan and I are having. I mean, validating that they agree, but it's discouraging when 'your kid cries so much and is so overwhelmed and we may not be able to help her and there just isn't anywhere she can GO to calm down'.
In the back of my mind, my little angry gremlin is stirring and saying 'they might have to figure it out, it's the law'. but I'm ignoring it for now, because they are not going to simply Build Space. She gets no pocket dimensions.

So, yeah. I did some internet research today about charter schools v independent schools, what's free for whom, within a one hour radius.
Colleague -- who, again, works for THE SCHOOL DISTRICT but was speaking to me as a friend - said sometimes it's appropriate to withdraw a student, if she's in distress every single day. What i want is for them to work special education miracles, because they're the experts. Or, say, "Alice here is the specific small thing you've been doing wrong and how to fix it."
But instead, what I'm hearing is, 'she's a complex kiddo, and these are real feelings she's having, and we are trying to help but not entirely sure how to help and in fact she rejects help sometimes' (I know, dude, what do we do about that)
I also DO NOT KNOW if any other public school would work.
ETC.

I found a second SOLID option besides the 'cool charter school that is too far away,' so that's enough for now -- Sometimes I try to research until I find a solution, but this is a time when I am going to have to settle for progress.
---- Similarly:
Job stuff is both Encouraging and Discouraging; my boss sent me a posting for like, something else. He doesn't want me to leave per se but he does want me to be happy, that sort of thing.
meanwhile I found two other things this morning that are maybes, so I applied for them. I spent too much time on one of them today but whee.
Also talking with the democrat lady.
