I Wanted To But Couldn't

I want to drive a truck, but I haven't had the opportunity to do so yet.

I'm trying to help my ISS students. That is more difficult. At least I know where to take truck driving lessons.

When I got an e-mail telling me one of my students would need a form filled out as he is up for his triennial, I looked for the form. When I never received it, I sent an e-mail letting the party in charge know. I got no response. I saw the party in charge a few days later and asked for it. I got a shrug of the shoulders and told that it would be given out soon. When a week passed, and I still did not receive it, I asked another teacher if she received the form. She said she got it after asking twice. Again, I sent an e-mail, to which I got the reply "It was in your mailbox, someone must have taken it." No one ever takes anything from my mailbox and I can guarantee and evaluation form would not be stolen. Finally, I got a form e-mailed to me but, since the person in charge does no work outside the office, I decided to wait to download the attachment at work. Unfortunately, I not only could I not open my DOE mail today, I could not even get the printer to work. I was told I could come up to the office and pick up a hard copy but the person in charge could just as easily deliver it to me. After all, that person needs my input to do the job. Meanwhile, the resource room teacher told me the meeting already took place.

So, don't tell me I would find a way to go to these meetings if I really wanted to. (read the comment section) I really wanted to have some input for this kid. I have some real ideas as to what he needs. The system makes it really hard or impossible to implement them.
