I have submitted my intent to homeschool already,
and was told by the assistant superintendent that
there wouldn't be any trouble.
(my son was in special education, when I removed him from public
school last feb.)
Today there was a message on my answering machine from
the person who was my son's advocate when he was in school.
He is not affilitated with the school system, but is right there to
kiss there toes.
I know my son is worth some bucks to the school system. Thats the botttom
line.
I took on the responsiblity to pick my son up after the emotional mess the
PS school system did to him, and I did a crash course in homeschooling.
This advocate bailed on my son, and I did turn him into his superior, at the
time.
The anxiety that went on for both my son and I was almost too much
to handle. This advocate, has created nightmares everyday for the
children and parents that he works with.
The same anxiety is back tonight, and I wish I knew what he wants.
I need these people to leave us alone! I plan on calling him in the a.m.
and will try to be as quick and to the point as possilble,
help me,
Lynn

You could call when you think he's not there so you get his answering machine
and leave a message saying "We're homeschooling so we don't need your
services anymore, but thanks."

I'm sorry this person is upsetting oyu. But, really, that's what they make
answering machines and caller ID for -- screen the heck out of everyone. I
talk to noone! unless I want to. Just because they call doesn't mean I have
to answer!

And if you do happen to be in the mood, it sounds like Sandra had the right
answer. "We're hsing, get lost!"

And good luck with your hsing!

What else can we help you with?

In anything that has to do with pushy potentially harmful social
service/school type folks, send a certified letter informing him that you
are homeschooling and that you have already taken care of this matter with
the school and that you have met all your legal obligations and won't be
needing any further contact from him. cc: to his supervisor.

Talking on the phone is something that leaves no legal trail. It is always
best to be safe with that type.

Why not simply say that your son is no longer attending ps and no longer in
need of the person's services?

is it possible he does not realize your son is homeschooling this year? Do
you have to talk to him? If he is not court appointed and is attached to the
public school process, I would think you could politely inform him he is no
longer needed. You shouldn't have to give him any further information,
beyond having already registered.

Dear Lynn,

Do everything in writing. You do not need to justify anything to anybody. I
am so sorry for the anguish you have been through. You will all recover.
You will get your son back and he will be OK with your love. Don't let
yourself get upset about somebody you have no respect for. Just walk away,
do what you need to do in writing, and know that you will repair any damage
done just by being your son's mother.
Mary
