Do You Homeschool Some parents refuse public schools

First of all my two boys are going to public schools. They always have, because they luckily have been able to go with out to much confrontation on their ability to stay in class. We have had behavior issues with my oldest for the first two years of school, but after that he has been great. I admit that he has a few bad days because of being oversensitive some days. It just doesn't cause an everyday problem with him like some would. Lisa Jo Rudy explains why she will never go back to public schools ever again in this article.

Struggling with the IEP's are difficult, and I've never had a problem doing ours. I know the teachers very well, but may see problems down the road when they do reach middle school. They are still young, and behaviors change over time. For now, I just have to keep that candy away from them at school. They are always giving it to my youngest just for being good that day. I'm gonna hate to find out what they are having for Valentine's Day. I just can't have them loaded up on sugar. Needing to add the Feingold Diet to their IEP's next time that we meet.

Wooster, Ohio Get Autism Program

First of all congratulations on the achievement, I believe that every school district has all the necessary skills that is required to work with these children and to hope that it is started much sooner than for some. These children are needing help when they turn 2 or 3 years of age. I was receiving therapy for the boys when they were three, and with Ed I wish it was from birth. I noticed a "problem" with him after he recovered from jaundice. You can read about the accomplishment on the school district and the people who have made this wonderful thing happen here from the local news

GFCF Chicken For Dinner

I had bought a bag of chicken breast to coat in the rice flour that I made myself. So here is how I did it. I cut the pieces into strips, and coated with rice flour that I had put some MSG free chicken seasoning into the flour. I fried them in corn oil, and they turned out delicious. I had some for lunch today while the kids were in school, and I made some more when they got home after doing more business in town. Dev absolutely loved them. He had helped me with making the flour. He ate about a good seven or eight pieces of it, always saving more for later. He really liked my rice flour and couldn't wait to have it in food, milk and whatever else I could make with it. Just like the muffins I made with rice milk. He eventually ate the whole pan. Good for you Dev.
My Ed on the other hand didn't care to much about having rice products in his food. He is so much like his dad, and I guess he didn't want a change in his food. Maybe one day he will...I hope. It would be so much better on him.
Ed had to take a red juice to school for snack, but Dev on the other hand said he didn't want the juice. I told him that he could take water to school for his snack. He did and that made me very proud of him for choosing not to have colors. I just asked him if he drank milk at school for lunch, and he said, " No I drank the juice." I am pretty sure that milk is hurting his belly and has decided to refrain from it.
