We wasted an entire school year with a team teaching effort (more students, two younger teachers). I was called to the school every single day for an entire school year. I wish I had thrown my own tantrum and had him moved to a different classroom at the beginning. You might even try that. Tell the powers that be "that you and the teacher just cannot relate." Good luck.<br /><br />DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-18393736658762764282010-10-13T00:12:09.331-05:002010-10-13T00:12:09.331-05:00I don't know if your state is like TX or OH or...I don't know if your state is like TX or OH or MI, but in case they are you should have a special education person (from what you have posted, I think he would qualify certainly not for learning disability but for his emotional struggles) assigned to each school or at least one for the entire district. If so you need to talk to her/him and get an ARD meeting, if you haven’t already. If this is in his ARD and she is denying him, you have a lawsuit. If it is not in his ARD then it should be and if they quibble with you then threaten to call the state dept of ed. No school wants the state to come holding a complaint about special ed, I’ve been there and done exactly that.<br /><br />ACAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-42450402506499077102010-10-12T16:35:28.685-05:002010-10-12T16:35:28.685-05:00I'm at a loss about this teacher. I'm hop...I'm at a loss about this teacher. I'm hoping that someone comes down on her hard. What she needs is for someone to scrub her down hard with brillo pad, a good patch, and then have someone rub cotton on it and say, "But I'm only rubbing it softly". Once an area is sensitive, it is always sensitive, no matter how soft you do something.Bouhttp://boudicca.mu.nunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-89725102012671378622010-10-12T14:54:15.540-05:002010-10-12T14:54:15.540-05:00I've quietly followed for a while, but don'...I've quietly followed for a while, but don't know the whole story. Having said that this teacher makes me angry, and as a Mom I can almost feel your pain. I say "almost" because I haven't BTDT, I only know that as a Mom we don't want to see our children in such a position. <br /><br />I pray you find answers, and more importantly solutions that work for you and your son.What's my name, again?https://www.blogger.com/profile/00868112710318576486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291056.post-31027998183000353452010-10-12T13:17:52.075-05:002010-10-12T13:17:52.075-05:00I know I've said it in person and on the phone...I know I've said it in person and on the phone a dozen or more times, but that teacher's unwillingness to allow SR to use his yellow card in an appropriate manner is BS. How she cannot recognize and/or admit that it is not a reward to allow SR the chance to regain his composure after recognizing something is about to happen (which, in itself is a huge maturity spurt)is laughable. And, if she cannot recognize/admit that she is punishing him by forcing him into a corner, increasing the attention focused on him, exacerbating the oncoming train of emotion & then calling him out about it, shows her lack of intellectual honesty on her so-called reasoning. If it is a reward to let him leave, it's punishment to make him stay. Period.<br /><br />I don't like her.<br /><br />I want to come for a visit.
