Rough Monday :/

Today was a rough one. Had high hopes for Jordan's Christmas concert this afternoon ( I should know better but after this weekend can anyone blame me?) So I have heard very little from the school regarding her behavior, problems etc so I really thought this was going to be a good day. Boy was I wrong! About 30 minutes into the concert I see Jordan beginning to lose it and go into meltdown at the top of the bleachers behind the class and in front of the entire school. I look for her teacher who of course was completely oblivious! I went up to the teacher and asked her to look up at Jordan and she replies " Oh is she crying?" UM WTH DO U THINK? UGH then proceeds " Should I go see if she's ok?" SERIOUSLY? OBVIOUSLY NOT! grrrrr! So after a few mins I hear her beginning to sob off stage and the teacher trying to coach her back on stage. Mammabear took over and I went back there and got her, embraced her in a bear hug and walked her out. Beyond frustrated already I took her to the office in hopes she would get herself together and be able to go back to class. FAIL. With it being towards the end of the day many students were congregating in the hallway only upsetting Jordan more because everyone was seeing her a mess. So, I proceeded to take her down to the quiter more private Special Ed room. Again with a hope that she would regain her composer and get back to class to some point. (me and hope really didn't work well today obviously) She was getting back on track when this witch of a substitute that don't know Jordan at all comes in and starts getting on Jordan about "This is a special ed room and we need to be paying attention to Lucas (classmate with Autism and in mid fit) so you need to stop and go back to class. EXCUSE ME? I BOUT TURNED RED! I wasn't asking them to do jack first of all! I was standing right there and this witch don't know her! She has just as much right to be able to sit and calm down in that room as Lucas or any other Special needs student. GRRRR! Plus she proceeds to tell me that the last few days she has been substituting she has had problems with Jordan every morning getting her into the classroom and in her opinion "misbehaving". Mind you NOBODY had said one word to me about this whatsoever! A few minutes later I was able to walk Jordan back down to her room basically giving up and ready to just bring her home. Well her teacher was able to convince her to stay and try and do CLC (afterschool program). But I was less than convinced. So I sat down in the office (out of eyesight but close enough to go get her if she lost it again basically). Of course Jordan lost in mildly one more time before FINALLY making it to the CLC room and staying for the last hour to do her hw etc. I am soo over this school!
