[QUOTE="Steely, post: 70592, member: 3301"] Actually, I think it is not just your school district, but all schools. in my opinion, they are overburdened, and thus apathetic, for the most part. I don't mean to be negative, but I think this is just one of many problems you will have, and you need to pace yourself. Obviously do what needs to be done, and in a professional manner. Meet with the teacher, meet about the 504, but try and conserve your energy for the whole school year. With 3 difficult children you will need it. I did nothing but tear my hair out over one difficult child, and literally made myself sick - please take care of yourself with 3 of them. As parents, we tend to care, a bazillion times more than most teachers will or can, and that is the part that causes so much friction. Is there any chance you can explain to your son how serious his allergies are, and somehow help him to take more responsibility in these situations? Maybe give him a "special treat" he could keep in his locker for such celebrations? Could you laminate a card for the teacher to keep on her desk outlining what foods are not allowed? I would venture to guess that this is not a case of the teacher not caring, but rather being careless. Any way you can help her, would benefit your child greatly. Hang in there........ [/QUOTE]
