Ever seen the movie Groundhog Day??????

As we maneuver the waters of Brady's education (and chart a new course and discover things that seemingly have never been discovered before.....) I feel like I am the star of Groundhog day.....

I really hope we can get it right soon........

as of today - I have two choices - leave Brady in Mrs. W's class and restructure his day and hopefully find ways to cut down on both Brady's and Mrs. W's frustrations, or, move him to a new class, at a new time, with a new teacher, and new kids - of which I do not know a single one.....not one......

There are some pros to the move: less kids - only 22, and a seemingly more nurturing teacher.

There are also lots of cons: the aide Brady really likes isn't there in the afternoon, the afternoon special education class is a lot lower functioning so with fewer peers and more behaviors, he might not be able to have one of the afternoon aides go with him to the regular education class, and would therefore not have the support he needs, and we don't know a single child in that classroom :(

I'm just not sure what is exactly the right thing to do. The administration at our school has been wonderful and helpful in really trying to make things work and help Brady be successful. We have the most wonderful assistant principal, who will probably be going on to being a full time principal in another school - she is amazing and I will miss her dearly next year if this happens. She is so deserving though, and will be a great principal - maybe we'll transfer to her school LOL

So - that is where we are in the midst of our groundhog day. I almost feel like I'm back to square one, except that Brady is more grown up and really has progressed in a lot of ways. I love my boy and would not change him in any way, I just wish that everyone would see him the way that I do, it would definitely make educating him a whole lot easier ;)

And........ off we go again........
