[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 369931, member: 1991"] What I need to do is sit with the teacher and discuss the work in question, find out what it is she feels was of such suspicious merit, and try to work out in my own head where it came from. The entire point of any of tis exercise will be to try to find a way to: 1) help difficult child 3 produce the same standard of work more often; 2) help the teacher understand at a belief level that he CAN do it and therefore identify when and why he cannot, so we can help him do better more consistently; 3) s I've already requested, work with difficult child 3 on how to use and write draft documents, because the work is only going to get more challenging and his inability to work with drafts is holding him back. I have the principal on side, as well as SpEd. The principal also said that a recent staff inservice (a few days ago) has enlightened a number of staff (including this teacher). I need to find out for myself how true this is, and maybe put in my oar specifically concerning difficult child 3 if it's needed. Part of how things work with this school, is the need to work together, parents and teachers. They need to trust me, we (parents) need to feel we can trust the staff to be honest with us. This teacher had a firm belief about me and difficult child 3 that I happen to know was not true. I had the advantage of knowing what we had not done. She as teacher had to take action of some sort, if she was convinced of her beliefs. But while ever those beliefs remain, we cannot move forward to help difficult child 3 with what he really needs. If what can come out of this is a better understanding of how splinter skills in these kids can cause tis kind of confusion but also give us some hope, then we have turned a difficult situation into a positive outcome. If the teacher still believes me to be a pushy dragon of a parent, I can live with that. But the logic just doesn't hold up. Trouble is, this isn't the most logical of faculties! There are other students who have also been judged to have cheated in similar way. I suspect that the same mistake could have been made with t least some of these kids. If this faulty belief is not resolved, then the problems will continue into the future and for this teacher (and the rest of the faculty ho share her opinions) the belief becomes self-fulfilling and self-perpetuating. Not good long-term for the school. They're good people. I don't want to see a lot of good work get undermined by such a basic mistake. Marg [/QUOTE]
