Its been a month since removing AJ from public school - I have already sent
by certified mail my NOI to the Superintendant, have the receipt, CC'd
the school registrar - and NOW they are calling. Now!?! At the time of
pulling him he was going on a 3 week spring break from school, but
school has officially been back in session for over 2 weeks, and they
are just now realizing that he hasn't been there, keeping a seat warm,
getting picked on, not responding to roll call! Uh HELLO? When he was a
public student & stayed home sick, they called me before noon to see
what the excuse was for the absence. Why did it take them 2 weeks for
this?
I responded politely about homeschooling & the steps I took to notify
everyone who needed it - and she (NOT so politely) said that I not only
NEED permission but that until I GET the permission, he is supposed to
be in school. Is this true? She said she is going to have the school
counselor call me back, trying to prepare myself to be ON the defensive
but not BE defensive.
Help,
