Thursday Ramblings...

Well, I had a meeting at the School again this morning to kind of tweek Tucker's 504 and see where he stands as of right now. I dreaded it all morning. I am so sick of all these battles. Somedays I wake up and I wish I had the perfect little book nerd kids that totally strived on doing well. Of course I wouldn't trade my kids in for anything in the world, but somedays they certainly make me threaten it.

I don't know if I just got totally smooth talked and don't have a clue, or if I should really feel this relieved. I'm not used to a relieved feeling...something must not be right...

I really like his guidance counselor. Seems like a pretty honest and decent guy. He doesn't make me feel all confronted when I go in there and I didn't leave feeling all defeated and beat down. As of right now it seems that we still have some hope. Some of Tucker's grades aren't all that terrible and there is hope to get through the year succesfully. Of course this depends very heavily on what Tucker does with that opportunity and will also take a lot of work on my part.
I got a report from each teacher on his strengths and weaknesses and some helpful ideas, although it seemed as though one teacher particularly stood out as someone he clearly doesn't get along with. We added a few things to his 504 accomodations that I hope will be very helpful. They were new ideas that no one has tried before and sound like they could be a great benefit.
I guess time will tell where this all gets us....
