My big girl

Eva started school this week and it was a most exciting and frightening event!  We were definitely far more nervous than she was and she grinned the whole way in to class on the first day.  It felt so strange to be told to leave and to not have a long meeting with someone about how she does things and why and what etc etc.  I was amazed at how easy it all seemed to be.  But of course after the first-day high we are having a few teething problems ...  things like Eva not getting enough staff time - quite seriously she is getting 2.3 hours per week of one-on-one aide time. Yes I wrote week. It's seems so cruel to have a child with special needs barely getting enough assistance to have food, water and go to the toilet. And there is no time left after that to help her with school work.  And yet that is the state of things in Australia.  Eva has come home these first few days with barely any food eaten and a full-ish water bottle.  She's been ravenous and tired after school every day.  Yes, she's learning new things (I think!) but I feel somewhat underwhelmed.  
I've been so strongly advocating for Eva to be in a mainstream school and to receive a proper education yet one of the first things she was asked to do this week was choose the colour blue between a choice of green and blue. Then yellow between yellow and brown.  I felt affronted on Eva's behalf!
I know they need to know where she is at but I feel that assuming competence is the best approach.  We have a meeting next week but there's so much to tell them about I hardly know where to start...
