[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 242053, member: 6271"] Three weeks ago I started meeting with the administration and setting up meetings so that when we meet together we can start with the discussion of what is working for the part of this Team that is getting top grades and what is going on in the classes where the grades are less. I have been to so many and have offered what is clear to me as a means of establishing a working effort. Does anyone have memories where a teacher themselves brought a new idea to the discussion that worked? What is so discouraging to me about these last few years is that the teachers are abdicating the role as per the students needs on this idea that at this grade level they are on their own...when without the environment prompting for the habits and the expectation now what is occuring is less motivation to hit the mark. Given that these are the last years when the obligation of the schools and teachers is for these disability rights I am especially unhappy that I am getting little and no effort to be that from the teachers who are now loosing the momentum that was so hard to establish and easily discouraged. I can not with honesty enter this next meeting with the same hope and enthusiasm I have because I am myself just upset about the teachers and their lack of initiative to pick up on the abilities and the oppertunity to be teaching when my son is so easily motivated by possitive attention. I am tired most of all of having the teachers wanting my son to want to do the meetings, when he does not. if asked he will say he doesn't want the meetings the whole works. When the conseling was not provided they said he didn't want it. He wasn't connecting with the conselor. I know that fit was not helping him. It is not that he doesn't need the relationship or the safe person who can help him to find his place in the role for his education. It feels bad to me when the teachers who are not able or willing to the teaching he needs are aware that their are things to be done. Hey, a person has to live under a rock not to know that when students are not getting good grades that there are steps to take. They do not follow what there is when required and starting in with the testing is potentially just going to upset my son. The message is that he "should" be doing things independantly. He should be taking charge of his education. He "should" be self motivated, if he wants to go to college to pursue all those steps on his own. I see him as being filled with trepidation over it and I am like a fish out of water trying to get what to do and he needs and I need some other person who is breaking up our routene here. Thats how I picked ropefree for my name. i am so far a field from the place where I felt that I knew what here to there is one grasp to the next...I am just going snow blind into the undefined blank unknown all the time. And I am in alot of pain everyday. Does it have to be so important and a crissis every minute? [/QUOTE]
