If you can move back home where you have family to support you in raising her and the school is that close, why don't you go? Even if you rented your own place and it was not close enough for her to get to school on her own, you would have family to help you get her there.
With you on crutches and having difficulty walking, I would think you would want to be near family. My family is very close and we help each other. I hope your family is like that.
i am a disabled mom with a 7 yr old child that has ADHD and i am having truble in getting her to school because the school system wont give her a school bus to come pick her up at the house.....she is not on any med because when she was 4 yrs old i was giving her some meds and instead it got her violent and tooooo hyperactive so i took her off of them and just doing it the natural way.the only thing is that i cant get her to school because i cant stand to long at the bus stop in plain winter......and she cant go alone to the bus stop cause she sometimes does things without thinking and she just wont stay still and besides shes only 7 maybe im being to over protective of her but shes all i got and i know how she is...so i just dont now what to do......i have begged the school to help me out on this matter but they refuse they tell me that my daughter has to be physically disabled or mentally disabled to get a bus to pick her up at the house so i dont know what else to doI am assuming there are other kids who get on at that stop also. Could you arrange for an older child to pick her up on their way each morning?
Something I did with my son when I couldn't stay at the bus stop with him was to walk him there and wait until the others showed up. Usually there would be at least one parent there also. Once I was certain there was someone there I felt I could trust, I went back to the house.
I found that if I asked someone there to keep an eye on him, they were more than willing to help out. (If you are constantly having to chase her and pull her out of trouble they may not be as willing)
well i tried that but the kids their were small kids like here and no parent at all which i was in shock....plus its hard for me to walk and stand since i walk with crutches...i just cant believe that no one from the board of education or the state just wont help me out then they complain because the child is not in school.....yesterday i even tried taking her to the bus stop again and we waited and i couldnt stand so my daughter was like mom lets go home before u fall and shes only 7 and she knew i couldnt did.....i even told her to stay and wait for the bus and on my way bk she was running ............it very frustratingSee if you can find another student in her class whose mother or father give them a ride to school. You could have them pick her up at your home if they are close. Offer to pay for some gas money with the prices the way they are.
Another option is to homeschool your own child. So many parents do it.
well i have tried just about everything.....all the kids at the bus stop go alone to school and in my building all the kids that go to her school the parents said no....i was adviced by someone to make this problem i have public and go to the news paper or tv but i dont want anyone to get in trouble but if worst comes worst im going to do that cause honestly i think its just not fair the the state or board of education wont help me out and thats not all now my daughter is getting depressed and she is hardly eating....shes sad cause she isnt going to school...in the mean time im just teaching her little things at home but its just not the same....all i know is if i dont solve this matter soon someone is going to hear my voice ........and if my daughter doesnt get aneducation is all the board of educations fault and the board of transportation......
its terrible cause not even my neighbors want to help but its understandable and i dont blame them........
maraia38606.5622685185maraia -well first of all i have no issues on abondedent of her going to school she was going to school last year and someone was taking her and actually i was glad she was in school cause i knew she was learning and being around with other kids plus it gave me time to things for myself while she was in school cause when shes around the attention is all on her because of how active and also trying to consentrate with her school her..
well the neighbors her all into themselves and i guess they just dont like helping anyone.......
about asking my church well i did and they tried t o help but they got no response from anyone either.....
its grazy but the school reported me to social services so know i got social services telling me things ...but good thing out of it is that they see that its not that i dont want my daughter in school they see that what im saying is true .she is too hyperactive she doesnt listen and tends to do thinggs without thinking and that we cant risk leaving her a lone at a bus stop.....they want me to get someone to take her to school but since i hardly no anyone and those that i have asked to do it say that 200 dollars a month is not enough to pick her up and drop her offf.....so if i get no response from the and no help what so ever i told them that i was just going to go bk home to pr where i have family and the school is right across the street from the house and id have family to help me to take her to school ..because i want her to have an education she needs to learn.......
go to special ed and have them put and iep on her,,,if needed have the doctor write to them,,,, Have you tried going for a 504 plan? Speak to the person in charge of special needs. Explain the whole situation, your physical problems and your daughter being adhd. Say that because your daughter is adhd, she cannot be left alone at the bus stop. Ask if, with a 504, your daughter can be picked up at your house.Who and how does she get to the stop? Could that person just wait til she gets on and off. If driven just wait in the car then go home.
