Oh Boy !
difficult child has made huge improvements with his grades since qualifying for Title 1 Reading program and his private tutoring with the SD Reading Specialist.
He has made an about face. He has 3 A's and 1 D (in reading, of course)
However, his behavior has been poor. He was making big improvements there as well but his Teacher says he "refuses" to show his work when doing Math quizzes/tests, etc.
We all have repeadedly discussed this with difficult child and as usual one ear and out the other.
He is frustrated and beginning to form a tic in his throat. When he is over stressed he tics and has for several years.
husband and I have always been in difficult child's corner and have always supported the Teacher in anyway we could. We go for meetings, we help with homework, studying and just all around care about difficult child's education.
Teacher sent an email home yesterday explaining that difficult child "refuses" and that he "whines" , etc... Quite frankly her email was a bit "whiny"
This kid has documented diagnosis and a 504 plan and get no break it seems.
difficult child came home yesterday and told me that his Teacher likes 20 kids in his class but she has 21 students (excluding himself from being liked)
I felt so bad. I know difficult child and he was being geniune and pleading with me that he really didn't know how to do the work and he told her this and she insisted that he did.
husband called her today and gave her a piece of his mind. He has always been an advocate for difficult child(sometimes making too many excuses for him)
I always am the pessimist when it comes to difficult child but this time ... Somethings telling me she isn't treating him fairly ...
I am waiting for husband to get home from work to hear the whole story ...
