Got through it
I convinced T into going to the IEP with me today. I have been trying to tell him large groups of people give me anxiety. I do not like crowds. Especially in that setting.
This was practically every 9th grade teacher they have there, 4 or 5 counselors, aides, you name it....17 people were scheduled to be there(this does not include me and T) they each have an opinion and idea. The only person that wasnt there was the principal, but in all honesty, she did cruise through. what they came down to is his cell phone. So I told him fine, I would remove it and their response was to not go cold turkey on him. I told him if it had to go, then that was the way it was going to happen. For Gods sake, make up my mind ok? I took it, told him why, he kid of balked about it, but no big fireworks, just handed it over when I told him he could have it after school.
They did express to me that his IQ was at 115... 3 yrs ago. for a 9th grader. It's probably higher now. I know they get bent cause he doesnt do math on paper, i have told them over and over again he does head math, but it falls on deaf ears. He doesnt seem to fit their conception of how it should be or what a person is actually capable of.
T decide he wanted to go back into couseling after that med thing he pulled. With his meds, ya just cannot play with them, any of them. I told him at that time if he was going to pull that, then I would stop taking mine and see how fast I could get my blood sugar over 500, wouldnt take too long. I think it scared him.
We went over the border to get smokes, and notices the big assed shipping crates thay had stacked were gone. Hmmmmmmm..which opened up about 3 lines to drive through. i do not take my car over there, nope.I do not go any further than the Border itself, dont step into the town any further than I have to. Do you know, 2 cartons of cigarettes bought at the duty free costs $20, for christs sake, thats what you pay for 2 packs on the US side. Now that's a no brainer isnt it.
Yes I smoke and no I aint quitting, its all I got. If I wanted green, I probably wouldnt have too much trouble getting that either as you can get a green card here...I did get T some CBD(Hemp style-no THC) and it works for him. You get the relief without the high. And I bought it OTC.
Well, time for bed, 430 comes pretty early and I know that is about when I end up getting up....maybe 5.

yup, that it would, but I dont think they really consider any of that, I would just get branded as s trouble maker

I hear very good things about the CBD. I'm glad T gets some relief from it. Maybe you can stock up for future use after you move north?
I'm not a bit surprised that JJ's IQ is that high. I wonder if he's ever read about any of the well-known people in the world who also experienced problems with the eudcation system? That could be an eye-opener for him.
Good on you, Mama, for putting T on the straight and narrow with his meds.
Their world would fall apart if YOU went into the hospital! They all really need to treat my sweet friend better, ya know??
As always, keep the faith and one foot in front of the other! (signed, the queen of platitudes)
