You have to press them on why, and indicate that the problem must be solved, so how can we work together to figure this out. If you go away, you are no longer a problem for them and are quickly off their radar. If you are in their office every day, believe me they will figure out a way to accomodate you and your kid.

It should not be like that. Being a pushy annoying parent should not be the answer. That is not my style I am very non confrontational and a honest person. So I get the shaft from public schools.

The problem with public schooling has made itself very clear.

What else would I expect from government run agencies?
