[QUOTE="vja4Him, post: 362393"] Another problem at the meeting yesterday ... The Resource Specialist read aloud for everyone to hear reports from my son's teachers. They all stated in their reports that they were not aware of any problems with my son!!! Man, I cannot believe this ... !!! I tried to address this issue, and point out the mistake that they teachers have made, but this issue was quickly avoided. One of the staff at the meeting told me that in the future I need to document immediately any problems. Unfortunately I did not document each incidence. The PE teacher blatantly lied. She stated that she was not aware that my son had any medical issues, and said that he has no problems running!!! What a flat out liar she is! I still have the e-mail message she sent to me, making fun of my son because he can't run the mile fast enough. She even told me that she could walk the mile faster than my son could run the mile! One (only one) of my son's seven teachers sent one page of work for my son to the Office during the last week of make-up work. Nobody contacted me and told me that this work was available for my son. This work arrived in the Office the last academic week of school. How lame is that? I only found out about the make-up page at the meeting yesterday (too late for my son so now) ... !!! Is this a common problem that happens at many schools? Why? Aren't the teachers supposed to stretch their services at least a little, to do whatever they can to help the kids? I work as a substitute teacher, and I've gone out of my way many times to help kids. I am willing to stay after school, get together some work, something, anything, for the students to do. I've had numerous long-term assignments, and have gone out of my way, put in many extra hours, and only paid about $1/hr (that's only one dollar per hour) for the extra hours I put it, just so I can get together extra work, make-up work, go over missing assignments, to help the kids get caught up. I know for an absolute 100% fact that the teachers, all of them, can at least do as much as I have done. I am only a substitute teacher. I had no support from any SST (Student Study Team), IEP team, or 504 Plan. I did all of this on my own, without reading any books to get ideas, no meetings, no advice, no in-services. I figured out how to help kids with missing assignments get caught up. I even contacted parents or whoever was at home, met with adults who supported the kids, made lots of phone calls, sent letters home, made up detailed charts, kept detailed records, put together my own records of assignments, grades, folders for every periods. Why is my son's school fighting me tooth and nail, trying to put all the blame on my son, and using the lame excuse that the teachers can't do what I'm asking. They don't have time. They are too busy. There are too many kids in the classroom .... [/QUOTE]
