[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. Parenting is hard. But you're a good person and a smart person and you love your son. You will handle this.

Exactly!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, guys.
I knew this was sort of a possibility so it didn't shock me. But I really like the teachers and they seemed so willing to try to work with us. I've already called the regional resource center and left a message and called my parent mentor within the school system to try to expedite the evaluation process.
He can still go to class on Friday. I just hope their administrator is in (she was out today) so I can find out if I can get a partial refund for the $200 I paid for September, plus the $100 deposit.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm sorry, Cash. I know you were really liking these teachers and they seemed really willing to try to work, it. I'm vibing for excellent help and support and progress for O, and soon.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Cashmere. I'm so sorry. I hope you find a place that will be perfect for both of you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Cash. How frustrating. I'm vibing hard for a fruitful session this afternoon with the speech therapist.

I'm so glad you have a mentor. One of my local friends has been navigating her now 9-year-old son's way through special education and mainstreaming and endless rounds of various therapies since he was 3, and having mentors and advocates on her side (and his) has made such a difference.
I'm just sorry you have to wrestle with this mess, and sorry for your tears right now, and sorry that we're not all there to give you tissues and coffee and a little bit of respite.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm sorry, Cash. Poor Owen. That sucks.

The status is NOT quo.
From the other side of the teacher's desk, I've been having a hell of a morning. So far I have dealt with a nasty email about last year's English teacher from a mother with a history of being difficult in general, a nebulous comment about an "anixety disorder" on a new student's profile that I have to follow up on, a frantic phone call from a mom about her daughter's major social meltdown and possible depression (and a request to meet at 7AM some time this week), and a student who forgot to take her ADHD meds and is bouncing off the walls.
Dear gods. Someone please put me out of my misery.
