[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 335886, member: 1991"] Call them on it. Be sweet about it, say that perhaps dealing with difficult child has been so challenging and time-consuming that they missed some of the obvious checks for "are you paying attention?" when the filled in the forms. But I would also talk to the psychiatrist about this, because I think to ask the teacher to do this over, when they have been caught out not doing the job properly, will put the wrong sort of bias into the assessment. I would definitely talk to the psychiatrist, point out the conflicting responses coupled with emails from the teacher. Print those, show them to the psychiatrist and help psychiatrist see that no way could a teacher honestly fill in the questionnaire with those answers, yet be the same teacher who sent those emails. Then go back to the school, talk to the principal, talk to those teachers also, and ask for some names of other teachers you could ask to have a go. Before you hand the forms over, make it clear - if they are too busy or don't see this as important, to please say so now and save everybody some time and trouble. Because to accept this responsibility and then do a half-baked job is EXACTLY the same as your child not following through with turning in her work properly. And how can a teacher be critical of a child for doing exactly what the teacher has just done? I wouldn't read this as teachers trying to avoid an IEP being put in place. I think ultimately, it's sheer laziness. Consequently, dishonesty (like lying about whether the dog ate the homework). Don't simply accept this without challenge. But you can challenge nicely. Simply letting them know that you have caught them out in the same behaviour they don't condone in your daughter, will be embarrassing for them. And this is NOT acceptable! Marg [/QUOTE]
