[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 75561, member: 1991"] Address it along with the failure of the school to inform the teachers of the IEP. This isn't the teachers fault, it's the school. But I would say, "If you had been made aware of and read the IEP, you should not have been surprised." It's too late now, but I would have asked, "Surprised... HOW? Please define 'surprised' in context of this student. You concern me." But do not be too concerned about any such pre-judging. Don't read too much into it, you have much more important things to deal with. People can have pre-conceived ideas but still not let it affect their dealings with that person. Give them credit - for now. I would have much greater concerns - how can they meet his needs when they have no idea of them? Why were you given an assurance (I hope you got it in writing - if so, go over their heads, way over) that all teachers would be made aware of the IEP, when clearly this didn't happen? And how do they propose to fix this major oversight? I'd be calling another meeting, at which I would be handing over to each teacher a list of your requirements. If the school objects to this, tell them it's your way of assuring yourself that your requests, one way or another, WILL be made known to his teachers, because the school's record on this hasn't been too good, has it? In your list of requirements, you put, "Please acquaint yourself with his IEP. Any questions, call me." Also put, "Please call me if he is asked to leave ANY class." And anything else you want there. I would also be requesting for copies of any assignments set, to be posted home to you. If he produces them to you before the mail beats home the teacher's copy, give him a bonus. How does this school expect to do its job, with this boy? And is it any wonder he's not coping? I would be really wondering about a lot of the problems he has reported, as well as a lot of the problems they have reported to you. There is also a serious misconception among teaching staff (educators generally) that a very bright student who is achieving a pass rate is doing fine and needs no help, no support and no intervention. That is so wrong. It's how difficult child 3 stagnated academically for the first five years of his schooling. he learnt more at home than he ever learnt at school. I also want to ask - where was husband in all this? I seem to recall a year or so ago, he agreed to take on all the fretting over difficult child's schooling. He should have at least been there with you. How else will he ever understand, if he doesn't expose himself to what's going on? Marg [/QUOTE]
