...so, I met a monster

Well, the honeymoon is over. I had the pleasure of meeting my first public school monster yesterday...actually through a phone conversation. I am proud to say I stood up for myself and my son with grace and poise, along with a tone that said I meant business. When I got off of the phone I felt empowered! I don't think I left the conversation with the reputation of being "that" Mom. I hope I left it with the understanding that I am "that" Mom who will fight to get what her child deserves, but with kindness and understanding. At least for now.
