[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 75587, member: 1991"] Is it possible that the teachers refused the meeting and refused to cooperate with other things, because they didn't realise this is a special needs student, with an IEP? It still doesn't augur well, though. Good news about difficult child wanting to see the Special Education teacher. I'm so glad he's involved, I think (hope) difficult child will be glad of him. As for husband - it sounds to me like he is just hurting a bit too much over this and finds it easier to deny the problem because the reality is just too hard for him to deal with. He's not coping and this is not a good coping strategy. Poor man - and he is missing so much, in terms of really being able to help (and enjoy) his son on true terms. Some men just don't like to let any emotion show, for them it's easier to turn those emotions off (or at least try to). But it's all there, deep down. Not healthy. And I suspect if you tried to tell him that, he would get sarcastic and dismissive, so don't bother unless by some miracle you think you can reach him. I would be checking up on your rights, re getting cooperation and communication requests met by the teachers. Unless a miracle happens, I think difficult child is going to have a more difficult year than he should. Here's hoping I'm wrong, and today's meeting has been a solid wake-up call for them all.
