After an incredibly terrible rage/meltdown on Rye’s part after school yesterday (he was whipped by another kid with a long stick that made a huge welt/mark on him and nothing was done to protect him or help him), me having to completely knock him out with Klonopin when we got home just to calm him down, ongoing discussions amongst Rye, Don and I throughout the evening and this morning that included more horror stories of violence in the school and continued non-compliance to the IEP, I finally just bagged the whole idea of public school and overnighted my paperwork to the state today to homeschool. The state will have it tomorrow morning. They are usually very fast with approval turnaround so as soon as I get that I will officially withdraw him.
It’s over. Take the pig head off the stake. Put the bonfire out. Wipe the warpaint off your faces. And before you kill the kid with the glasses, we are out. Over and out.
The adults are back in charge. Sanity is restored.
And we all exhale…
Goodbye public school.
Hello new world.

How terrible
I feel so sorry for what Rye went through. School should be a safe place…
