A Case of Nutsackery and Damnnation

Okay, so here's the deal. I had a Child Study meeting the other day concerning everyone's favorite failing fourth grader, also known as Sean. We're talking straight F's and one D failing here. The real deal. So anyway, they want to evaluate. Go right ahead I declared. We've been down this road before. But later on in the conversation it was said that the "labels" they are probably gonna stick on my son are OHI, and ED. Okay, OHI is Other Health Impaired...ED is Emotionally Disturbed. The former doesn't bother me much. The latter, well, they're not doing that to him. That label will follow him for the rest of his life. It will be a determining factor in the college he tries to get into, whatever career he might try to pursue. I'm enraged, and they're not doing that to him. They shouldn't even be "labeling" until AFTER they run their little exams on him. I worked down the hall from an ED room in a middle school. Those kids were sadistic and sociopathic. Truly, they were, but at the same time sadly misunderstood and emotionally ignored.
I'm not saying that Sean doesn't have problems by any means. He's the only one of the kids who remembers what living with Jesse was like. He's the oldest and has that pressure on him. He is self-deprecating and emotionally immature. But still I don't think he is ED material. I'm not saying that just cos I'm his mother. I've worked with those kids. They came to our room on and off when they got in trouble. They didn't like having to be in the same room with 'retards'.
To ice the cake I was told at the meeting that Sean's A's and B's of last year and his placement in the gifted program were due to "people being afraid of his behavior...giving him grades he didn't earn or deserve". WHAT THE FUCK???!!! You don't give kids grades to smooth things over. What the fuckinkinda teaching is THAT???!!!
Different counties, different rules, different corruption? I was so angry. I called Prince William County Schools and gave them a piece of my mind. I was told "we don't do that here...they are letting him slip through the cracks down there"
Henrico County, where we are now, is saying the same shiteating thing about Prince William. If my boy has indeed "slipped through the cracks" I want answers, I want them NOW. And they ALL had better stop spinning round on their asses and DO for my son as should have been done all along. If he needs help, then he needs help. I want what is best for him at all costs, and I WILL have him taken care of. That is something they can take to the bank. I'm appalled at this whole fucking mess. Someone is lying somewhere, people are trying to scapegoat. I don't appreciate it, I won't stand for it. This is my son's LIFE. They aren't ruining it. I'm not going to let Sean himself ruin it either. I mean, I'll do what I can for him, and I will expect him to take on the responsibilities and consequences that are due to him. I am pissed off at him for screwing around in school, oh yes, but the school year if over half-way gone, and they're doing something now. NOW? I swear, they are all fucktards. AND LAZY. They are also pushing to have him medicated. I HATE that. They want a little drone they can shove in an ED closet somewhere, labeled and shelved and numb and out of the way. I SO FUCKING HATE THAT.
