[QUOTE="Irene_J, post: 130084, member: 181"] I usually post on the PE forum, but I saw you name and had to read your post. Although teachers can be valuable allies, they can also be some of the most uninformed people around. I was a strong advocate for my child since grade school (I had to fight to keep her from being expelled from pre-school!) and have seen the full range of teacher abilities. My difficult child took me through the wringer. I was counting the days until she reached 18 so I could throw her out (and I was fully convinced that I was going to have to do this). But, she turned it around in her junior year of high school. Although I like to think that I was influential, I feel that most of it was due to her. She decided she didn't like the future that awaited her. She's now in community college, works part time and lives at home. Yours is still so young, you have time to take some action. I looked up your signature and see that your child is only 5. I don't really think that teacher's comments are appropriate for one so young. [/QUOTE]
