[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 501626, member: 11791"] You are dealing with a destructive teacher. We have had those. They will SAY all the right things, but everything they do, all day long, is nothing but one big (but subtle) attack. The teachers comments are not constructive, do not allow for his disability. The teachers who react this way, actually do not believe that the student has a disability - they believe the student is lazy, has a bad attitude, or is a behavior problem, and that the student "is well able to do this stuff but just doesn't want to". If I remember from earlier posts, your difficult child doesn't have an IEP, correct? If he doesn't... he needs one. Now. (well, it doesn't happen that fast - there's a process... some good threads over on Special Education forum) Its the only way that you have any leg to stand on when going up against these teachers. He has TWO disabilities, and they work against each other. That is HUGE. Our difficult child has dysgraphia... but spoken is not a problem, so among his options is the right to give an oral presentation instead of writing a paper... The teacher's comments that you posted from the prior year... make more sense. Those are [I]constructive[/I] statements. Even if he can't do it, he at least knows exactly what the teacher is looking for next, etc. Your mommy gut is right. [/QUOTE]
