After some prayer, a little thought, and an hour long conversation between Mike and I we have decided that it is in the best interest of everyone involved to refuse to sign the papers for Robby to be tested for identification as gifted. It all boils down to the fact that he is what he is and no label will change that.He seems relatively happy with himself and school now for this reason and many more we don't see why we should mess with it. My prayer is that the school lets it go and doesn't try to go over my head like another district did with Cindy but I have no control over this so it is in Gods hands.
Yesterday was the day which Cindy was given off school to either job shadow or visit a post graduation school. Actually Wednesday was the day but Cindy works Wednesdays and told her instructor that she wouldn't take a day off work to go work ( Shadow) for free.
We visited her first first choice in nursing schools . Unfortunately this school ( and most others) does not offer evening classes which means that Cindy would have to quit her job and find one that didn't start until after four. This is no easy task in the medical assisting field as most offices close by then. I have a couple tips on where we may find afternoon classes but would like to ask for some prayers. If this other school works out, she would still have to leave work by four o'clock which would have to be OKed by the doctor. It would only be for eleven months but who knows if the doctor will go for it or not. Cindy knows that the education is most important but wants to try to keep this job as she likes it. Please just pray that God works it all out for her .
