Back to school Chaos

And so the Chaos of back to school is starting to get the better of me. As I have blogged before I am trying to get H into a magnet school, well last week it had been over the allotted week they told us to wait so I started to call them. The lady that handles Student assignment is virtually impossible to get ahold of, so after days of calling her, I finally told them on Friday that I was going to come up on Monday morning. Well low and behold the Lady calls me back, and tells me that the school is full, but I can go ahead and enroll her in the school that we live in the district of, and then after the first week of school I can call her back and see if there is an opening. Hmm let me think NO! I tell her that is a stupid idea. Who would do that to their child enroll them in a school let them make friends then pull them out a week later. Not no but hell no, that is not acceptable. So she asks me why I am so against this school, I explain to her that they are not excelling at testing, and because of the no child left behind law I don't want H kept behind because other children are not doing well. She says well this is just part of the picture, well yes, I state, but the neighborhood is not that great either. So she suggest a few other schools, I tell her I will check these over the weekend and come and talk to her on Monday. So this morning, I go in to talk to her, all my statistics in hand. (I had looked up every school in the district). She again explains to me that the school is full, and suggest other schools to me, now these schools were a definite NO! So again she asks me what it is I have against the school (very rudely) I explain to her again that as I said on Friday, The school is falling behind on testing. She again states to me that this is only a small part of the picture, I say yes but a large part for me. I also explain to her again that I am not impressed with the neighborhood. I tell her I don't mean to be rude she says I know how you feel I have kids of my own, but I guess I just know the history of the school. WELL GOOD FOR YOU! I DO NOT CARE! I WANT MY KID IN THE DAMN MAGNET SCHOOL! At this point I am really getting pissed and I think she can see that so in a nice change of subject she says do you need any other help, for other grades or pre-school. Well Did I ask for that help?!? Hell no I did not! I politely tell her know that L is already on a waiting list. Then go back to the school subject, I ask how great is the possibility that there will be a place for her after the first week, well being the helpful lady she is she says I don't know. She ends with call me on Friday and we will see where we are at then. GREAT I say. Then she proceeds to ask me if I am going to enroll her in the other school. NO DAMN IT! DO you not understand I don't want my child at that school?!? I tell her no that I will be waiting until I talk to her on Friday and I will go from there. Seriously I would rather keep her out of school the first week, and enroll her in the school I want. Of course I cant tell her that. But damn it can you not see that I am a mom that cares, and is involved. I am sure that alot of parents would have taken the first no and just enrolled their child in the school, but there are those of us that cant except that and are not willing to comprise. SO I will call this Lady until she puts H in the school just so I wont bother her again. So here we are a week before school and we still have no school! Isn't that great!?!?!?
That has been what I have been dealing with. Want to trade?
