What To Do, What To Do?

Today's thoughts are preoccupied with a meeting I will attend tomorrow. It is an IEP (Individualized education plan) meeting in regards to Lib. I'm not a fan of these meetings because I find that I get emotional, lose my train of thought and don't always tell the "educators" what and how I really feel about Liberty's educational needs. But this year, I feel we are at a crossroads. Things need to change. More needs to be done.

Tomorrow's plan is to go with questions and keep my cool while expressing my desires for her future. The hardest part about that plan is that I don't know what the future holds and I can only make decisions based on past and present performance.

I love this kid and despite her learning disabilities or how she is assessed academically to produce scores, she's intelligent. She's tactical, observant, hard working, makes good decisions, is organized and always thinking. There is no doubt she'll make her educational pursuits in life. She will be happy choosing to do what will make her happy, it's just her nature. I just want it to be less difficult for her to get to that destination the best and most enjoyable way possible and I wish I knew what direction that way was.
