as_it_is - my adventure continues (part 4)

[asitis]

Other thing that happened today was that I had to miss S6's open house where we found out who his teacher is for this year. I asked about it, she said the teacher seemed nice but they didn't get much time to talk. I asked who it was (I've been active on our PTA, so I know the teachers better), and she said she couldn't remember her name (S6 couldn't either). I thought to myself, WTF? How could you not remember the person who would be our S's teacher for the year when S has some issues and we need to be working with this woman (all 4 possibilities are women)?

She said the name was on a sheet that she left in the car.

Asked if S6's favorite friend from K was in his class. When we did his IAP (Indiv. assessment plan), I had requested that they be kept together. Both have special arrangements, but they are clearly good for each other & really like each other. School folks thought that was a great idea, but I wanted to know if they had followed through. W said she forgot to look at the list. Again, I was like WTF, what did you do. STFU smoothies.

W will have the kids 4 school mornings a week, so we've agreed that I'll swing by and take S6 to school at least one or two mornings per week (esp. the days W teaches). So, I suggested that I would take S to school Monday so I can meet the teacher. She said that would be great and very helpful.

She volunteered to do the food shopping for the week (obviously not for me). I said I would be doing some, and wanted to make Sun. afternoon a day to cook some meals ahead and freeze them both for me & for my nights w/ the kids, & I'd take care of that. I also said, I'd try to make hummus & pita (S6's favorite lunch - he takes after me on this, as it's always been one of my favorite foods) on Sat., and make enough for a couple of his lunches. Which she thought was great.

So, more positive cooperation combined with some puzzling lack of interest/focus on the open house.
