I was a former student at Rising Ground (formerly Leake and Watts), and I was disgusted that my mother forced me to go to summer school in the summer of 2000 against my will. Prior to this I had planned to something fun for the months of July and August. Then it was scrapped off because my mother and older brother forced me to go. By the time summer school, I told them "I will never go to summer school" and he said "whatever". At school, I noticed that some of my classmates were angry and they were forced to go to summer school and they were in a similar situation that I been with my mother and brother. I started to investigate about all of this in the 2002-2003 school year. Ms. Elizabeth Spadaccinni who was my school psychologist at the time, told me about all of this after my parent teacher conference. It turns out that Ms. Gloria Scher the CSE/Intake Coordinator at the time, who was in charge of all the Day Students, she put it on my IEP as well as everyone else 12 month program, she wants all day students to attend school for a full year. One word I described it: "unacceptable". I believe in free will- the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.
