[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 335952, member: 1233"] How much time do you have before the assessment? Do you have enough time to ask for an appointment with the teacher? Ask for just 15 minutes. Offer to buy coffee and a snack/dessert away from school if they want to meet in the evening at a coffeehouse or restaurant. Tell the teacher you are aware she is just swamped and she probably had another child in mind when she did the questionnaire. Ask if, after thinking about the report and the other issues, she would pretty please go though the questionnaire while you sit and are quiet or go to another table. Be sure that you pay. This is for the English teacher. She problem will NOT want to meet you away from school. That is fine. Take a drink (if she drinks those energy drinks take one, if she is a coffee drinker take that or maybe one of the canned coffee energy drinks.) Also take a snack, some delectable goody. Even a fresh cinnamon roll from a bakery or a fresh bagel or whatever. Sit down, chat about the problems then do the pretty please. With the other teacher, ask to meet him. Take a nice snack - male teachers will NOT want to meet away from school. Esp not a female parent because it leaves them open for accusations. Make it a more guy-oriented snack, though homemade cookies/muffins go for everyone. Whatever you do, place the blame on yourself. It may gag you, cause you KNOW they just didn't bother. give them the out of thinking of another child and of having to fill out several of these at a time. Take a different colored ink. For $1.24 you can get a 10 pack of different colored Papermate pens at Walmart. Orange, red, green and purple. This will let the doctor see the changes. If you have a handy picture of your child, take it with the form. Let them know that with over 100 students a day it is easy to get them confused. If they say that they got it right the first time, then point out the contradictions. Discuss problems and then ask how she can be no problem with those things happening. I HOPE they will fix them. If they do not, make a copy of them (on your scanner at home if possible, so you can give the principal a copy and keep one for your records) and go talk to the principal. Let him know that you are trying to find ways to support the school and help your daughter but having a teacher just answer the same thing on every question is a way to put up a very effective roadblock to keep that help from happening. Ask him to remind teachers that their first job is to teach students. If there is a problem and the teacher actively works to keep the student from getting help, well, the student is not going to be able to learn. If the principal will not help I would call the superintendent. Cause this is NOT something the SD wants a rep for. Imagine the news coverage (if it happened) if they covered a parent's struggle to get help for a mentally ill child and the teachers would not take 5 minutes to help give feedback that is crucial to getting help. I am sorry the teachers were idjits. [/QUOTE]
