[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 566985, member: 11791"] DDD - the flip side? I wish I had been much more involved, much sooner... and put my foot down much harder at school. difficult child was given a volume and difficulty level of work that he simply could not keep up with due to a disability. Teacher would not bend on a single accommodation (IEPs here don't have teeth, and teacher had tenure). difficult child failed every single assignment - in class or at home. He simply could not do the work. The teacher bullied him in class (I found out later), using his work as an example of how NOT to do it. It was brutal, I knew that much - that's the year his behavior problems started. What he learned at school? 1) teachers are totally unreasonable 2) parents have no power to do anything 3) all the teacher wants is the answer, so just copy from your neighbor. It's taken TEN YEARS to [B]begin [/B]to undo the damage from ONE teacher. I'll stop before I start a rant. [/QUOTE]
