I've been reading your journel.
I have to share some thoughts with you after reading your postings on asthma and Catholic school.
First on the asthma. I was on Arbutrol for 20 years. I would never go anywhere without the inhaler. Then I got a new Doctor, a young woman who is very sharp. She put me on Advair. Within a week I no longer needed the Arbutrol inhaler. I could breath. I could go for long walks without any wheezing. I've since been switched to Singular. I think this in an attempt to get me off of inhalers. And it is working. I no longer need any inhaler. I would say that if you are having problems, try some of the new drugs out there. They work.
I have an 8 year old in Catholic school. He has a Nun for a teacher who should have stopped teaching about 20 years ago. The priest who runs the school really wants nothing to do with the school. It's not just this school, many Catholic schools are the same way. Just remember that these people never had children. So they really do not know what's best. You as the parent have to get your point across to them.
Remember, Catholic schools do tend to "get involved" in areas that are off limits to public schools. Discipline is a big pryority to them. However, Catholic schools are big on Volunteers. It my oppinion, that attracts to many weirdos. Be careful of this.
And if you don't get satisfaction from the Priest, write a letter to the Bishop, and copy the priest on the letter.
I don't know if you went to Catholic school or not, but in my day the nuns and priest would just hit or pull the hair of a child who was acting up. They also were big on humiliating children. At least they no longer are abusive, but there are still many improvements that need to be made.
