it's true jenn. and the worst thing you can do to a kid with issues, is to add to it. with ryan parents panicked and got riled up. they were (understandably) upset, and did not have the knowledge of what was going on to have a postive influence instead of a negative one. they actually ended up making things worse.

at the new school, the teachers approached him as if they had no prior knowledge of his past, they acted completely unbiased. the kids knew nothing of him, so he was treated like any other kid right off. which is what helped turn him around. and the IPP helped to work around his problem areas. he did not have to line up with the rest of them , went to school later/earlier than the rest, had epa that could remove him from class if he became agitated.

as his first epa/resource teacher said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. the school board snatched her out of his old school and sent her to his new one to be with him. her and his gym teacher (who went to both schools) were the familar support he needed to adjust.

i'm so proud of our new school. i just love them to death

inlaws are supposed to be nuts, it's their job. but i do wish you were here

[seekthetruth]

Really glad you got him in the new school ns. Sometimes it is the school system that is letting the children down and they just need a change in schools. Experienced that with my oldest son.

sorry to hear about Ryan, NS! My boy has a hard time at school. he's had to have extra help hs whole life at school, and he gets frustrated so easily. some kids are always picking on him. last year, in gym class, a couple of boys pushed him behind the stairs to the stage and wouldn't let him out. other kids laughed and apparently the teacher was in the area and didn't do anything! i ended up having meetings with the principal, but they didn't do much of anything except talk to the kids. so far this year is going a lot better and he is getting involved in sports after school(so i hope it doesn't start up again!)
i hope ryan is ok!!

OMG...this person is being SO mean. I am trying to control myself and not let her get to me, but it is getting REALLY hard. This is what she wrote:

  Yeah, Yeah. We all know you think your kid is cute, but look at the stupid look on his face.
  
• by Chandra Thu, Sep 11th 2008, 13:55
  OK, we get it...you don't want my son to win. Why are you afraid to post your name? I let it go and didn't stoop to your level to comment back last night, but I don't know how much longer will last.
  
• by anonymous Thu, Sep 11th 2008, 13:47
  This kid does not have a chance of winning.
  

I think you son is cute, makes me wish I was his age. LOL I sure hope you win. Been voting for you since before we knew you on here.

btw, isn't dying your hair supposed to make it thicker? mine is laying flat as a wet rat..and i think i'm going bald infront

Ya, supposed to make it thicker. I have a spot in front that I have to hide. I can only part my hair from left to right, or you can see the bald spot. Oh well, I guess I'll have to look for a man that likes bald women.

Actually you can still see your rep any time you want. Click on user CP, then click on user control panel. All of your rep will be there

Thanks, I didn't know this. I learnt something new today, the day has not been a complete loss!

How much longer before contest closes ... its 10 pm CST here

I voted again this morning and I got points for the voting. I just made sure that I got this hours words in first.

*groan* shuddup seek

is anyone else over there voting for justin or am i alone??

I have been voting too. I couldn't vote last night, had to go to the meet the teachers meeting at the school.

I have no idea what they where talking about in the general meeting (all in French, and my translater left early)

There was a met the teacher before the meeting and one after. You go to the class and they tell you what they will be doing this year. Again all in French, but they know I don't speak French and I understand only some of it, so they talk to me later in English to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I go because I think it is important for the teacher to know that even though I don't speak French I am interested in what the kids are doing. In the 8 yrs that the DD has been in school (Jk to gr6) the EX hass never been to a meet the teacher night. He only goes to the meeting after the first report cards come out.

btw, not to be a downer..but this was "antibullying day" . and my son got beatup on way home he's sore all over, missed tkd, feelings crushed, but otherwise ok. called the principal of the jr highschool. ryan knew one of the kids. he is suspending the kid for 2 days. and telling him if it happens again, the rcmp maybe involved.

i told the principal this time i'm letting him handle it. cause kids are kids..ya know? but he only gets this one chance. 2 other kids stood around and laffed. they will be hauled into the office once he wrings their name outta offender #1.

Give Ryan a big HUG and KISS from me. Poor baby, no kid should have to deal with bullies.

Did you suggest to the principal that they should be holding a course on bully. I got a freebie a while back called "Don't laugh at me". We had some bully at Cubs last year, and I am giving this to them some they can run a meeting or two on it.

I think at the begining of every school year they should go though the rules and what not with the kids. They need to let the kids know that it will not be tolerated.

Can my Mom (aka-- grandma) Join too?

Everyone can join. Just like NS sid make sure she uses the referall link. I won't want NS to miss out on 50 cent.

OK so now I am off to do some more voting. I don't bother with coments, oncw I get my points. I don't have time at work for that.

HUGS all and have a good day.

I need all the help I can get!! Anytime you want to come to Chesterville you can!! LOL

My parents do the samething, I always wonder how they could be together for 50+ years. One week with the 2 of them now is about all I can handle.

In past contests, they have told me that any votes made after the cutoff will not actually count for the contest. I'm not sure about this one though.

Dang, it's taking me forever to type! LOL I'm on my new laptop, and not used to the keyboard yet.

NS - sorry to hear about your son. Prayers and hugs for him today from Arkansas, USA!!!!

Off to shower and then go deliver Avon all day. See ya all tonight!
