Oh, to be Happily Oblivious

I have another Special Education Advisory Committee Meeting tomorrow. The last one seemed to get bogged down in a lot of nonsense discussion. However, I am hopeful that all the committee members will learn from our experiences and begin to move forward in a unified direction instead of getting stuck like we did two weeks ago. The Director of Special Education has cultivated a defensive attitude among the parents of children in the special education department, that has been characteristic of her regime. I don't think at this point any "good will" on her part can repair the image that she has created. Furthermore, I am doubtful that she has any inclination to do anything different than what she has been doing previously. That leaves the special ed parent community to figure out how to work with the situation at hand, and how to work with each other. (She has us right where she wants us!) At least that's what I'm thinking. She won't have to make any changes in her policy if she can get the parents on the advisory committee bogged down in nonsense discussions.

Luckily, Jack is happily oblivious to the valiant efforts on his behalf. According to him, the world is as it should be.
