Wonderful!!

This is a great message not to give up. The schools are tied up with bureaucracy. Sometimes when we are frustrating they are actually trying to make things happen behind the scenes. I'm hoping to post our own advocacy success story shortly!

I forgot about another important development.
Some of you might remember my frustration with Ghost not being allowed to take higher level science last year.
Well, this year he will be taking an online physics course at school, during science !
What a difference one year makes! I agree with neato that school did see our frustration and was trying to make accomodations. We are sometimes blindfolded by our frustration and not seeing that the other side is trying to accomodate.
