The Truth About Now.

I have B/G twins that are 7 and a little 5 year old boy. I started on this journey to get into Affiliate Marketing because we just realized that we need to take my son out of his charter school and put him in a specialized school for Specific Learning Disabilities. I had no idea what that meant but here I am searching for LAUSD schools with this designation. And guess what? They aren't that common. I found 3, with hopes that he could go to a public school, and got a swift kick in the ass when the one I wanted is full for the remainder of this year and next year. Thank you, next. The second school didn't have much info, and seemed forgotten. Like the district forgot to give them resources and left them on the back burner...forever. The 3rd, is like a ghost. It exists but no one knows anything about it. So here we are, 3 weeks into the Spring semester and he's frustrated going to school, his IEP doesn't cover near what he needs and I'm racing to find a school that will catch him up. He's behind, really really behind. Like 2 years behind. But he's a bright sweet little boy and I know the right place will nurture him and cater to his visual processing issues and inability to focus and sit still. We're lucky we live in Los Angeles, this city caters to everyone, especially if you have money. I found 2 schools. Private schools. I'm a public school kid, my husband is a public school kid, we didn't really consider private schools because we have 3 kids. Now we have to. So we are. We talked to these schools and they only take children with SLD diagnosis. Wait, WHAT? Yup, a school where all his classmates would be just like him. So he gets lots of movement breaks, multimodal learning opportunities, and most of all, a place where he can build his confidence back up again. Public school is great for the masses but it's done a number on my little man. 8 hours of school and only understanding 20% day after day will take a mental toll on anyone let alone a 7 year old. So instead of stressing about finishing his grade level homework and getting frustrated he can't spell and potentially irreversibly damaging my relationship with him, we are going to find a place that will teach him in a way that he understands. I want his afternoons full of playdates and baseball practice, not more tutoring and struggles. I'm finally at a place where we have a plan and I feel good about the plan. I truly appreciate my husband in these instances and his. no nonsense Boston upbringing. He's done fucking around. Let's put him in private school so he can catch up now while it's early. We have tours planned and a tentative pick as to which school we like better. I'm creating a list of questions for the tour and becoming more comfortable with the upcoming changes so I can support my little boy. But wow, these schools are pricey. Not just private school $30-40k pricey, but $65 thousand pricey. Yup, that's my take home after taxes. But it's worth it. And we'll cut back where we need to and hope to find another way to bring in extra money. So here I am trying out Affiliate Marketing and telling my friends knowing if anyone is going to buy stuff on Amazon, it's gonna be them! I'm lucky that I've met these amazing ladies that are going out of their way to help me, support me and remind me that I'm making the best decision for my child.
