[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 648805, member: 11791"] Dazed... I'm not against ALL teachers. Really, I'm not. We've had some really good ones over the years. But... by grade 4, the "busy work" almost killed my challenged kid. There was [I]some[/I] learning benefit to the stuff, IF you didn't have challenges. But there were no IEPs, very little accommodation unless the teacher was open and willing to adapt (could not be forced). Fully two thirds of the teachers HE got... would not budge a single inch on anything. Example: word find pages. Small print, extremely challenging if you have fine motor skills issues, and any learning benefit possible cannot be attained in this case. The reason why I jump to that conclusion is... Terry's kid is Aspie. So am I, so is my challenging kid. We kind of know how he thinks. Neurotypicals just don't see things the same way. :D Of course, YOU aren't one of those kinds of teachers. We found that the best teachers... had challenging kids of their own. [/QUOTE]
