[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 532973, member: 14356"] ksm - I'm glad you got a response - and a fairly quick one at that. I have to say that 'not having any ideas' is not a reason to not reply to an email. That was ridiculous and if it's true then it's pretty disheartening. If a teacher with experience and who teaches 102 kids every year can't figure out a way to help your child, then what? I'm glad you are making some progress with this and hopefully she can salvage some of these marks by the end of the year. I really don't know why your daughter doesn't have an IEP. 13th percentile for processing is at the low end of below average and that should at least qualify her for something. Add that to the executive function issues and I would think an IEP should be put in place - even if it only entails written instructions and communication between the school and home. My frustration with my daughter's teacher is that he will send home instructions but ONLY if I write him a letter and ask him for specific information on an upcoming test or assignment. So, if daughter forgets about the assignment altogether then I can't ask him because I don't know about it. Frustrating. And he won't modify a test for her unless I specifically tell him what to modify. In my opinion her tests should be rewritten, not just have stuff crossed off - this is a visual distraction for her. Additionally, she is allowed to have formula/example sheets to help her get through math tests - I have to write them for her because he can't be bothered to do it. It's so frustrating but this guy is going on sabbatical next year so I don't have to worry about him. I have written a very long letter to the school which I will drop off today stating exactly what her teacher needs to be prepared to do next year - so there won't be any surprises to the poor unsuspecting teacher when this Mama Bear comes knocking on her door in September. From one Mama Bear to another, I wish you well with this! Hope the next 4 days go well and everything gets straightened out with these assignments - and hopefully you get a much more proactive teacher next year! [/QUOTE]
