[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm exhausted - and I feel for you.  Like the PPs, I also try to be super nice when I can, showing support and appreciation for the teachers and staff because they really don't get paid enough for what they're doing and having to deal with my kids, the prep for our meetings and all that documentation, etc.  I really do appreciate what they're doing for my kids.  But, like you, OP, it was a very long journey to get here and it's still not over.  I hate the unwritten rules, the stonewalling, the politics, etc.  It's an uneven fight and on top of it, I have the emotional compenent the school doesn't have.  Sure, the teachers care about my child but it's not the same and the procedural liaison doesn't know my kid from Adam.  She reminds me Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter.  On the surface she's all smiley and sugary, but the school team are clearly on eggshells around her.  So, we bring our high priced consultant with us and let her slog it out.  It sometimes feels like defeat that we have to do that but I don't know what else to do to ensure that someone is really looking after my kids' interests.  [/quote]
