S didn't think he needed to go to karate again last night. I have no idea what is going on with him. Last year he LOVED it, and this year, he seems to be hesitating about going, but every time he does - after class - he is in such a great mood. It's strange. I think he doesn't like to go because the other kids haven't really been very accepting of his oddities, truth be told. But, he enjoys the exercise and the actual craft of karate. I hate the fact that social interactions can mar every single thing this wee boy does.
Last Friday morning I noticed that S didn't bring his laptop home. I asked him about that - and apparently there has been a problem with the program for a few days. I asked him about it over the weekend, and he told me it was fixed. He has just informed me that now there is another new problem with it. I am not pleased. This system has been deemed essential to his learning ability, and yet the special ed teacher is taking her time to try and fix the problem rather than calling in a board specialist to have it fixed. I will give it this week, and this week only. After that, I start raising some kane. You would not see something like a lift for a child in a wheelchair being repaired by a teacher, and taking days to repair it, so the same should be true for a computer for a child with a learning disability. We can't 'classify' a disability.
The A-man will be coming to work with me tomorrow for the annual Grade 9 "Take your kid to work day." He informed me last night that he isn't actually supposed to do any work - that is against labour laws or some such thing. Yeah, right. He's just going to sit and WATCH me work all day? I don't think so. The most dangerous thing that can happen in my office is getting a paper cut - that boy is going to work the database for me! He is not going to sit and look at me all day long. Not a chance.
No problemos with homework tasks last night - although I did need to give a reminder. Huh!
