One thing that is really bothering me... DS9 and DD7 were very open in telling me how they felt about current school which made me want to make the school change. Now I am doing something against their wishes so will this make them think they should of kept their dissatisfaction from me? I want them to come talk to me still.
This year after some efforts for advocacy on my part & son really wanting to change the situation actually got worse than last year. I would ask my son if he wanted more advocacy help and he would say no I have enough work to do. I would explain I was looking for appropriate work not more work and he didn't want to hear it because my efforts have already made it worse.
So I'm feeling the pressure like I just don't want our lives in general worse by moving to a new school 30 mins away but I feel like we have this option and should try it.
I do think if I don't have to deal with the aftermath daily of school days that uses up every bit of their patience this would have a wonderful impact on our lives. I'm hoping if the school day is more respectful of learning ability then DS will have more patience for the rest of his day.
The option may not be there next year if the school fills up. I feel like the current school in just not acceptable for DS and there may be lots of problems in the future if we stay.
I keep telling myself if we don't like it we can come back to our current school but somehow I still feel nervous about it all. I hope I can find some peace with this. thanks for the vent this should help.
