I...I'm sorry to read about this experience. I'm sure it was upsetting for Selena. Surely the school has had to deal with frightened or anxious Kindergartners during the first week of school before this - that has to happen fairly often - I can't believe they weren't kinder and more helpful! So disappointing. But on the bright side, I'm sure you'll put together a great year at home, and make everything okay again.An Almost Unschooling Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784076035361200243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988931737585001828.post-56475181009631453442012-09-08T15:15:07.375-07:002012-09-08T15:15:07.375-07:00Wow, it's so scary to read this whole thing. ...Wow, it's so scary to read this whole thing.

Schoo...I am hearing this story more and more often. School is big and loud and bright and chaotic and it is too much for so many children. Instead of helping the kids adjust, schools push for medicating the child or they expel them. My cousin's son was expelled at age 7. Ridiculous. There are days I'd love to send Sam off to school, but with his many sensory and social issues relating to Aspergers, I know they'd toss him out in a matter of minutes. It's so sad to see what the schools have become. I'm sorry Selena had such a rough start - I know she was excited about school. You are wonderful grandparents to rescue her from that situation right away. I hope you find the right situation for her and for you soon, and without too much stress.
