Reply #24: I suggested you for a reason

[pop goes the weasel]

You obviously have the political savvy to be able to fight a bureaucracy and win. I don't. My sad little attempt to do so ended up with my child dropping out of school because the district dragged its feet on accomodating her disability. There was no one to be my advocate, to help me with the process. There are plenty of people who want to blame the parents, though. It sure would be nice if, instead of heaping blame on already beleagured parents, those people offered assistance. Not everyone is like you, not everyone has your peculiar assortment of traits and skills. Since you have the traits and skills that are needed, and you have an interest in parents successfully fighting school bureaucracies, I though you might be amenable to helping. At least that's something you can consider doing if you lose the election.
