[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 269384, member: 6546"] So I have received yet another note from the teacher saying "I need help" without any sort of specific request.... My impression is that this woman is completely stressed out and over-worked and at the end of her rope--and that she really does "need help"--but I just don't know what it is that she is looking for me to do. And so I have been getting aggravated at these little notes. Her complaint today is that he did not turn in his homework this morning. He did it, he just forgot to hand it in--a classic ADHD problem. And so I have received a note stating that she needs help. What is it that she thinks I'm going to do at home that will cause him to remember...? I am trying to decide whether I should just ignore the note.... or whether I should turn around and offer her my full support to the point of voluunteering as a classroom aid to specifically remind my son to turn in his homework. Half of me thinks that if I show up on Monday prepared to attend class as an aid, it will be her worst nightmare (she doesn't particularly like me)....but it will probably be the end of the notes. I don't know....what do you think? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
