Under Special Circumstances? What other steps can be taking, for declaring a Hardship under Special Circumstances to allow our 6 year old to start school in another school zone?
We don’t want our daughter to attend school where her Grandmother teachers at (personal reasons I‘ll explain later in this note)…and here in North Carolina they have not enacted an open enrollment policy. So in other word you can’t enroll your child with your personal school choose- unlike most of the 50 states with in the USA.
My husband and I have already filled a Hardship with the NC School Department for our district asking for her to attend another school- which was denied.
We stated how we have one car, my husbands a Manager and has an acquired schedule- I don’t work because my daughter is at home with me, until she can go to work- then I’d work as well…to help with our financial problems. We mentioned if she went to school closer to town where we’d work it would help us out greatly… And we also let them know that our daughters’ Grandmother also teaches at this school now where our little girl would attend this fall of 2009 school season. We explained how our relationship is completely rocky with her…and at the same time we let them know that her Grandmother is not going to leave our daughter to her schooling properly- Grandmother will continue to be personally involved with our daughters teacher, and our daughter will continue to want to know where Grandma is 24-7 while at school. Can you imagine if you got a call from the school saying- Your daughter went to the bathroom and never returned (someone more the likely - took her cause she was wondering outside the school- possible looking for her Grandma)…I feel this Grandmother situation is not fair to my daughter education- the teasing from other kids perhaps, the treatment from other teachers- whether it be miss treatment or being overly nice to our daughter…casting a shadow to the other students.
As far as our relationship with Grandma it’s pretty crappy- we don’t get along…we don’t see her much at all. She’s a complete mess/ a slob - a complete hoarder if you will, with trash and shopping bags/junk thru out the home…sleeps all day right after work and all weekend- does nothing with herself, but read books.
Both her dog use the bathroom all over the house…she’s completely and mentally like not there- We don’t allow her to watch our daughter- we don’t trust her, seriously…(There’s no helping this women, we have tried.) Grandmother pays no attention, she actually food poisoned my daughter and I with expired food…we clean her home often and throw her old expired food out- she had food- most of which was from the year 1999 and 2002....(This women is sick) baking goods/cake mixes- that she admitted to us- that she gives her students…in her words because- expired dates don’t mean anything.
Except for school, school is a big deal to her…as it is to us- and so is our daughters safety.
Grandmother has been talking to us for the past 2 years about how she’d go on our daughter field trips and be so koi with the teacher…and give her snack money (but our daughter is allergic to lots of things- and she will doesn’t get it.)
My husband and I don’t want her in our daughters school business…and we such as HELL don’t want her to be stopping by our daughters class room, being best friends with her teacher.
ALSO, we can’t afford private school…What can be say or do with the school board to get this request approved? Before my daughter ends up missing- looking for Grandma when she should be going to the bathroom…before our daughter doesn’t get a good education- and major problems will erupt with us her parents, her teacher and her Grandmother at this elementary school.
Thanks for the advice in advance-
