AUTISM DISPUTE

Okay, I'm in a dispute with the school board because one woman decided that our school district doesn't want to support the small number of children with autism, so she has made the decision to place the children in regular special ed. classes, and cut the existing autism classes to save the district a few dollars. The problem is, is autism is a spectrum disorder and putting them in proposed setting boarders on abuse.I personally know most of the children that these new cuts will affect and I , along with their parents and teachers, are convinced that they will not survive such a liberally sturctured setting. Is it too much to ask for our children to get a fair shot in life? Yes, you can save a few dollars by cutting the autism programs now. But should you? I don't think so. It's parent's right to have an adquate and safe atmosphere for our children to learn. I feel as if the public school system has placed a price on the value of our children's education and it reads: Tor Sale: Cheap.

MRS. C

I was calling my phone company to cancel my service when I was blessed with the opportunity to see a real customer service agent in action. "Mrs. C" I'd like to call her, not only made me feel important, she made me feel as if my gripes mattered. She was able to help me with my problems, make great suggestions on how to utilize my current services. She even gave me some help numbers to use incase something unexpected happen. She didn't do more than she was supposed to, but what she did, she did well.
Thank you Mrs. Clark, for doing your job well.

P.S.
I not only stayed with the company because of Mrs. Clark's helpfulness , I've also purchased additional services with the company.
