44. Is there more to the story?

You mentioned in another context that you are a special ed teacher.

As a parent of a 2nd grader with autism, I've learned that I often must pick my battles. By the time evening rolls around he's often exhausted by the social expectations required in school. At those times, I can't always demand compliance. It is not always within his power to comply.

Occasionally, and today was one of those days, something happens which precludes learning at school. On those days, he (and the rest of his class) is better off if he does his work at home.

That said, we're lucky that we can afford to have a stay-at-home parent.
