I know, I know, virtual charters aren't the best idea, but my state really cracks down on them.
That being said, my daughter is in one for various reasons.
Am I unrealistic with expectations here? The IEP took, no problem. But I feel like so many of the accommodations just fall back on me. I get that I am the most logical person to provide breaks and alternate schedules, but I feel like I'm drowning under it all.
What doesn't help is that by the time I'm available to help my daughter in the evenings, the teachers are done for the day so I don't even have anyone to call.
I get that a lot of this is the nature of a virtual school, but I wish I had more support. My daughter meets (virtually for services) three times a week, and the teachers are very responsive during their work day.
I know these may be reaching for the stars here, but let me know what would be realistic:
1. In-person home support. A trained professional to help my daughter stay in task.
2. If not that, being able to call on teachers after usual work hours. I'm generally not one to demand others work outside their hours, but would it be so crazy to just have staff members on a different shift?
I suspect the answer is I suck it up and do better or find a different school, which may be the ways to go. I just want to know if there's any route I could look at first.
