[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 430780, member: 11791"] in my humble opinion - you are much too kind and politically correct... or at least, there's absolutely no way I could ever be that "kind and politically correct". Which is probably part of the reason teachers "duck" whenever I walk into the school??? These teachers - the ones who really think they are good - are the most damaging. "Do it my way" (or else), "if you'd just fit in and pay attention" (its your attitude, stupid), ETC. Its not even so much what they say, its the belief-system behind it. They actually believe that the student in question does not WANT to do well. They really don't believe THIS student needs the accommodations... And unfortunately, it seems, teachers who have had their own special needs kids are 100x worse... they compare to their own kid and their own "success", and if your kid isn't making it in their class, then its either YOUR fault or the KIDS fault - or both. And why does Social Studies always seem to be the WORST subject for this??? [/QUOTE]
