re: my last post on four day school weeks, copypasted from a comment to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reannon (i should have put this there, but i forgot to):
what worries me is this:
i went into sean's classroom last time i was at the school and there was a calendar by the door. sean's column was suspiciously blank, so i wondered why, and looked at the other kids' columns:
something was written in pretty much every square, some external therapy that was in the morning or afternoon or in some cases the entire day of weekly scheduled absence times - times that the child in question was leaving early/coming in late/had a recurring absence because of some external therapy session.
that plus this is kind of terrifying. sped moms have a higher chance than usual to become supermoms because their kids are already higher-maintenance than neurotypical ones. at least in my experience (which is admittedly limited.)
not to mention our district is having to close schools and cut back programs to balance the education budget.
it could be nothing, obviously. but this is why i'm more scared than not.
(and again, this is why they call it an irrational fear. the worst of it is that i KNOW i'm being irrational and feel stupid and scared at the same time. oh god i really don't want to go to therapy tomorrow, even though it's obvious that i need it, i still don't WANT it.)
