It was open house tonight at Sammys school. We have not been happy this year at all. His teachers both leave before 3pm and (the school day ends at 3:30). I would pick Sammy up earlier but it is nap time which he still needs. Anyways, I have no idea what goes on during the day. I asked for specifics but the teachers that come in after the day ones leave have no info. I have asked for specific info in the mornings and I get no info i need like Did he sit on the toilet? Did anything happen there? Did he have a poopie diaper? IS he speaking in class? IS he participating? or any specifics about his day...husband called the director and complained about this and it has not been taken care of yet. Tonight, husband went to the open House. Sammys teachers informed him that he is the best behaved in class (I dont doubt that one) That he is a normal 3 year old and speaks perfectly clear and in great detail. At first husband said "you are talking about Sammy?" husband pointed out that 3 different doctors including the school district have his speech at the age level of a 24 month old and that he has comprehension problems and they said "Oh, not here. Here he speaks perfectly clear and in great detail. We understand him perfectly" So husband says are you saying that these doctors and we dont know our son or that he is faking it? This is a flat out lie! I know that they want us to feel good about our son and we do but we dont need lies to do that. He was evaluated by the school psychologist in mid august and she said the other children had a hard time understanding him. His last teacher who he had for a year and a half said his speech is getting slightly better but it still was quite delayed. These 2 teachers seem to be the only 2 people on this planet who understand him without a problem and get things in great detail. I dont know what to do anymore. He is going to therapy 3 days a week and will probably be in speech with the SD 2 days a week. I dont know if I should keep him at this school or what. He loves going there, he loves the kids but I dont think that he will get much out of this year.
