Not trying to be picky but….
Why do I get emails when my child has a bad day but an entire honors science class is allowed to act like wild animals w/o any consequences? I think there is a double standard.

The other day I had a forty-five minute conversation about my son going to high school. The current middle school he is at wants to place my son in SDC (Which would be far away from his neighborhood school). This is fine for some children but my child is accessing the curriculum and tests at advanced and proficient. Furthermore, my son’s grades are A’s and B’s.
I am married to my husband for 20 years. We have an amazingly intelligent fourteen-year-old son, named Nico. He has Asperger’s and major Anxiety issues. My son was diagnosed in 3rd grade. Currently, he is in 8th grade. Our public school experience has been dicey to say the least. I am sure the other parents with special needs children are able to relate to my frustration.
I don’t want to go all the way back in time and discuss all my issues with public schools and the lack of compassion by most general education teachers. I want this blog to mainly discuss issues with teenagers with Asperger’s. I want this blog to be a way of putting together a community of parents who need to be heard and who need to share their experiences.
