OK - <breathe>
My 11 y/o has Tourette's and ADHD (bad) and is classified under special education at his school. All year I have battled the teachers and counselor because he is very bright so it is hard to remember that he is SpecEd and requires accomodation and special understanding and management. I kid you not, I got this email from his teacher today. It starts out like he had some major altercation, Just wait till you read on! If it weren't for the fact the we have been struggling with this for a year, I'd laugh!:
I wanted to inform you of a situation that happened this afternoon. We were passing out papers to be placed in the Friday Folders and I realized Aedan still doesnt have his folder and behavior folder. I did receive your note stating the folders were with his father and I completely understand if it has taken a while to get them back. I gave him one of my folders and told him to place his sign and return papers on top with take home papers on bottom. When I called him to my desk to see how many sign and return papers he had, I noticed they were not on top like I had instructed him to do. I then organized his papers and placed all sign and return papers on top for him. There is a post it note on top that states how many he will need to return Monday. I finished looking at all the folders and then noticed Aedan was going back through his folder and placing his sign and return papers on bottom again. I asked him why he would do that when I instructed him otherwise ,rearranged the papers myself and all he could say was I dont know. I was going to give him a sign off for this disrespectful act but he didnt have his folder. When he returns his behavior folder the signoff will be marked for today. Once again, I just wanted to let you know. Have a great weekend.
Hmmmmmmm, sound like an ADHD kid to you?
AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I just had his science/spelling teacher accuse him of copying and pasting his homework because he did it in the computer, like his accomodations say he can. My son even felt compelled to type "My mom watched me do this" at the end of the assignment so he would not think he copied and pasted. He is SCARED to utilize his accomodations for fear of exactly what just happened!
Has anyone had to deal with anything like this??!?!?!?
<sigh> sorry for venting - I am FURIOUS!
