It is just so hard to tell what you are getting into with a new school. Sometimes they promise you everything and give you nothing. Sometimes you negotiate your heart out and get nowhere. Sometimes they actually listen and respond. But in the spring before the new school year, you really don't know what to expect.

So I hope I can reassure them. I should remember, too, that two of DS's strengths is adaptability and self-advocacy, so I do feel a little less anxious sending him into a new situation. If he were just as smart but with a different temperment, I probably would have felt more of an obligation to pave the way for him.

I gave the principal permission to share my phone number. It's a small enough town, there is a good chance I already know or know someone who knows the parents, so I am trying to figure out who it might be. LOL!
