  • The loophole.

     So, Gavii's schooling has been a major concern for months now and well, now it's come to a head. Basically, we spent about a week fighting silently with each other..Yes, this is possible with our oldest in town we've kind of been fighting here and there after the kids go to bed on what's right and what's wrong. Logan took me over to the school they want her to go to and yes, the area looks horrible. Mind you, I did some digging and found out that the inside of the school wasn't looking too much better then the outside. Yep, basically, the test scores from last years school year had hit..Last time I checked, they hadn't hit..Yeah, not good. Anyways, we had a long ten hour 'adult meeting' on what to do last night and after talking to the school that they want to send her to we've decided that maybe the school they want to send her to isn't the best option.

     

    Today, in between talking to the accountant and whatnot Logan called up some other school options. After that, we've gotten a bunch of leads and a bunch of help from other schools. We've decided to not go ahead with sending her to school they want to send her to. In other words, they want to take her from a highly rated school to the WORST rated school in the state..Yes, the worst rated school with the state and they are suppose to help her out with her speech when half the kids there can barely speak Enlish..yeah, no thanks.

     

    At any rate, after making some phone calls we've decided that Gavii will not be going to the school that they want to send her to. We're going to look into getting her into some of the other 'outside' school programs we've been looking at just to help get her caught up. I've also ordered some books and whatnot online just now to help with her writing skills. We're gonna use this year to get her outside help outside of the school that's well..honestly not that great. We'll take our time finding a study program for her, potty training and possibly some speech therapy in there too. Sure, we'll be back to square one on driving her around but it's better then the other option. We'll oversee things and make sure that the right people are dealing with her. She's grown in leaps and bounds and we can help her get there moreso..this school..not so much.

     

    Anyways, for those of you out there who are wondering..that's the update for today..until I update again..Hasta!
