๐ THIS ISN’T A CASE. THIS IS A CLASSROOM.
“It’s been very disruptive to homeschooling to have social workers disrupting our day for ten years for no reason…”
This is not child protection.
This is pedagogical vandalism.
You have not observed—you have interfered.
Ten years of unsanctioned intrusion is not diligence. It is dysfunction, draped in lanyards.
⏱ MISSED APPOINTMENTS. MISSED CHILDHOOD.
“…and all the no shows are irritating to us all.”
You no-show.
You reschedule.
You forget.
And yet you call it professionalism.
A child learns something from every encounter.
Yours have taught mine that time doesn’t matter, and promises are ornamental.
๐ STILL NOT VERBAL. STILL NOT YOUR PROBLEM?
“Please Note: I cannot speak verbally. Please email only. I do not own a phone.”
This is not an aesthetic preference.
It is a medical mandate.
Failure to comply is not inconvenience—it’s discrimination.
You cannot assess when you refuse to listen.
You cannot safeguard when your presence endangers the lesson plan.

Too literate for your interruption. Too elegant for your theatre.
