Please don't blame yourself. I know, to some level, we all do on this board, for many things, but don't. This system is set up to put the kids and parents at a disadvantage and at some point or another we have ALL gotten or will get screwed. This is so typical and it makes me so mad. I truly, truly feel for ELL students whose parents may not speak English. This system is so labyrinthine, with so much bureaucracy and it's all a game that depends on which side can play theirs better. How those poor people manage to ever get their children help is beyond me. |
There are a lot of advocacy threads on DC Urban Moms going on now. |
IT's that time of year. |
