[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 382605, member: 1991"] Just goes to show - maybe they're not so single-minded and one-eyed as you thought. Hmm. File it away for future reference. Actually Shari, it all tells me that things are on an even keel and they're very committed to helping you with Wee. If they didn't care, they wouldn't have got upset. So really, it's all good. It is reminding me of the problems I had a couple of months ago with difficult child 3's English teacher, accusing me of writing difficult child 3's assessment tasks for him. Although she has backed right off and is working with me (working hard, too) on helping difficult child 3, and she clearly does not seem to believe this any more, I know she will never apologise for it. And I don't want any apology from anyone that has been forced from them. All I want, is for people to work with difficult child 3 as he needs it, and not to get sidetracked by stuff that isn't true. The English department in general now accept that difficult child 3 CAN work at that level, but not consistently. It means they know now, they can push him harder. And that is what I want. Interestingly, all this year this teacher wanted me to stay out of her lessons with difficult child 3. But in the last couple of months, I've been within earshot and even been able to step in and "translate" for difficult child 3, when he was missing the point. So sometimes a crisis and blow-up not only clears the air, it can lead towards getting everything on the right track for sure, when maybe before you only thought it was. Marg [/QUOTE]
