Okay. So there's a meeting at the school for the parents of The Classrooms of Misfit Toys™. They're going to talk about summer programs so that the parents of Misfit Toys™ don't make them into the human equivalent of a nice veal demiglace over the summer. Fine. I like that. I'd need to buy a bigger pot to cook Sean anyway.
But what I don't understand is why we need to have a MEETING about this. Why can't they just hand us information? I mean, we get all of these eight squillion newsletters (give or take), most of them about the gifted kids program; they all get emailed or sent home via 'kid-mail' (pause for the obligatory rolling of the eyes here). (and don't get me started about the disparities between the SPED program and the gifted program here: seriously, don't. As Chris's aunt says, "I'm not WELL for this.")
(Yes, his school has only SPED or gifted streams. Does that seem weird to you? Yeah.)
But for some reason for us this requires a MEETING.
I don't get it. I don't want a MEETING. Meetings are boring and cut into the Rest Of My Life Time.
And okay, right, they're providing childcare, fine. But still. MEETING. And it's not a one-on-one meeting, it's an all-parents-of-misfit toys™ meeting, so it's not like they're going to tailor what's being presented to individual disabilities either. It'll probably be a bunch of people reading off powerpoint slides.
Do Not Get.
