Lostboy's Leaving...

So, today we had our little meeting on Lostboy, and the principal of the school that has the Behavior Disordered Classroom said, "It sounds as if he's a great candidate for our program." I was relieved. Before I went into the meeting I had asked about 5 people to pray...I was nervous. I've never been in a place like this where my only option was a more contained setting.

In the end, it was fine. I didn't have to convince anyone of anything. Apparently everyone, including his Mom, knew this was coming. So, we sat there, went over what Lostboy's new classroom would include, did paperwork, and he's set to go on Tuesday. It went SO MUCH better than I imagined. God is faithful to answer prayers, and I knew it was because of those praying that the meeting went so smoothly.

There was one tidbit from the meeting that sort of spoke volumes to me. At the end of the meeting, Lostboy's Mom turned to the Principal of the his new school and his new teacher and said, "Don't get upset if I hang up on you. Sometimes when you call I will get upset and hang up on you, which is a good thing because otherwise I will yell at you." NEVER, in my ten years of teaching, have I heard someone flat-out warn someone else that they will hang up on them in the future. No wonder Lostboy struggles...his Mom can't even function in a healthy way emotionally, so how can Lostboy?

Hum....later...
