Love To Grow On

I am beyond furious, and I honestly don't understand how this is acceptable. My child's preschool teacher explicitly recommended these behavioral daycare centers, and not a single one will take him. None of them. ​At the end of the day, you get paid to do a job. Whether that job is difficult or not, it’s your profession. So why isn't it getting done? Why are we denying children just because they are a little more difficult or have some extra hurdles? Are we just supposed to throw them to the side of the road because they require actual effort? It is disgusting how this world is so quick to judge and push a child aside without even bothering to get to know them. ​Because of this broken system, my life is completely on hold. I can’t work because I don’t have childcare. And if I want to get him into an actual school, I’m told I have to get an official diagnosis first. But oh wait—the waitlist for a diagnosis is at least six months long. So what am I supposed to do? Just survive day by day in limbo because the system is a failure? ​To top it all off, these incompetent centers took three entire weeks just to get back to me, only to say "no." Three weeks of waiting, hoping, and stressing, just to be rejected. And when they pass judgment and deny him, they don't offer a single recommendation, a resource, or a shred of direction on what to do next. They just close the door in our faces. ​I am done, I am drained, and I am angry. If the only power I have right now is to leave scorching, honest reviews to warn other parents and expose these places, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do. They need to do better, because right now, they are failing the families who need them most.
