[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 242487, member: 805"] R, I think what everywoman was expressing was in response to several of your posts where you indicate you want your son to get [I]top grades. [/I]Most of us warrior parents here are not fighting for our kids to get top grades and academic accolades. We are fighting for our kids to be given the same opportunity as those not challenged with various emotional/mental dxs or multiple learning disabilities. At some point, especially as a junior in high school, your son should have the knowledge, incentive and/or drive (especially if he is as intellegent as his proud mom indicates) to do what is required. If not, I personally (and I am open to disagreement here) don't believe it is a school issue. It is an issue of finding the motivation so your son [B]wants[/B] to perform as his optimal level. That's not a teacher job at 17 years old. A teacher can provide interesting and creative ways to teach, but if a student lacks motiviation........ I don't dismiss, and I don't believe any of the members here do either, that the school administration may not be doing all they can to provide your son with services. But I do feel that holding the school responsibile for your son not getting [I]top grades[/I] is not what the Special Education system is all about. Perhaps the misconception here is that there has been no clear defination of what you are looking for from the school other than help getting your son's grades up. Are there other tangible goals you are striving for? Sharon [/QUOTE]
