Jessica Adams Says We live in Georgia, United States This is about IEPs. I have been trained on IEPs, I wrote Gavyns very first IEP on my own. I am trained on laws and regulations. I am a trained mom! Im supposed to have all the answers and most of the time I do....until it comes to my own child. I used to walk in the school almost daily, I was very involved (parent president at one time), I give advise to parents and help explain their rights and so forth. I went threw one hell of a divorce, had a baby and had a entire life change (that means my kids did to). I knew a couple years would be hard and with all that I slacked off on being the school mom. I still support my kids and want them to do their best. The issue now is that My son is falling behind. I have tired to help with homework but its WAY above his level and I know the state requires him to do the same as others and I have always disagreed for my one child (my other child with and IEP can do typical work so I feel it should be more based off the child). I spent years begging and pleading to have it easier for my son and worked on accommodations and so forth. This year....I gave up! I just got tired between life and stress of seeing my child cry day after day because of school work that a major part of me just gave up. I hate walking into the school and so does my child. I feel responsible yet I know im not alone. I got an IEP appointment letter for the 10th...its on the counter and I cant come to signing it. I want to bail but I wont. I will be there. I just feel like I am going to snap if one more person has something bad to say about my child. I want him to be on grade level but I know he wont be. His last IEP was not good at all and I left in tears. This year I just cant quit thinking its gonna be the same....or worse! One teacher told my other child that the child im referring to is not turning in homework...I hate that she said anything to my child who is not my sons parent! I hate that I feel this way. I want the best for my son. This is a plea...plea for encouragement, not judgment. My children are my world and I am their fighter. I am their protector.
