[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 486209, member: 7083"] ECOT is online school. We've dismissed it for other reasons. Homebound teacher called today, but I need to give you a little history so that it makes sense. First time difficult child met with homebound was Tuesday 11/15. It was supposed to be from 1-3, but I had forgotten that she already had a doctor appointment scheduled, so we moved it to 5-7pm. At the end of the session, homebound told difficult child that they would meet at the same time next week (I didn't attend this one). So, the next week she called to make sure we were going to be meeting from 1-3pm. I was surprised and told her that we were under the impression that it was from 5-7 based on what she told difficult child, and that we can't meet from 1-3 because my son was getting married. Then my car died and we had to cancel altogether. She didn't call me again to schedule until the Monday after Thanksgiving. She wanted to meet on Wed 11/28 from 1-3pm. That was fine. We got to the library at 1pm and waited until 1:30 before we left because she wasn't there. I got home and she said that she sent a text the night before that she couldn't meet until 2pm. I asked her how she got my cell phone number. She doesn't have it. She sent a text to my home phone. That doesn't work. So, we turned right around and went back to the library. Had the session, then scheduled to meet again on Friday at 12:30. Friday morning (last week) she called to cancel because she was sick. I told her to call back to reschedule when she was feeling better (she sounded horrible). So, she called this morning and wanted to know if we were still on to meet tonight from 5-7. I asked, why would we? She said that we had a standing time every week. I told her that I'm not sure why she thought that - detailed the above - and she said that she must not have communicated clearly. Communicated what??? We can't meet today. I already have other things going on. We arranged to meet Thursday and Friday for 2 hours. Now, I have to say that I was not at all nice. And I told her directly that if she had a problem with me, she should have talked to me. And I told her given all the confusion that I wanted her to send me the dates and times of all meetings in an email so I would have something in writing. She told me that maybe she isn't the best person for us and that she would let SpEd director know that she needs to find someone else. Which is exactly what I wanted, and had requested from SpEd director before the whole incident yesterday, but SpEd director wouldn't do. I didn't plan on this - I just wasn't being nice. I'm sure SpEd director will make this into a fiasco, but I guess we'll take that as it comes. SpEd director never believes anything that I say - never. I have to repeat myself a dozen times before she will even hear me. And, no, I wasn't being nice. However, other than confronting the homebound teacher about not talking to me about any issue with me that she had, I wasn't being out of line given how flakey this lady is. [/QUOTE]
