Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Hi everyone, Teachers and aides are just human like the rest of us. There are great ones, good ones, mediocre ones, and bad ones. No teacher or aide should ever unreasonably punish a child. Some people are just mean. Any teacher or aide who unreasonably punishes a child should be reported to their principal or school board. I have to sort of walk a tightrope on this issue because I am parent to four children with special needs and also have teaching experience/teacher education. Sometimes I feel like the entire teaching profession is being indicted for the actions of a few. Although we all like to vent our anger, frustration, and grief, I always try to post the positives and leave the negatives at home. Happy holidays Father to , Kristi, (all three Ds) and (Cri du chat) Husband to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we all like to vent our anger, frustration, and grief, I always try to post the positives and leave the negatives at home. > , This is our place to vent...I don't know what I would do without all of you who listen to me and throw back ideas or are just plain supportive. We have many teachers on the list and they often vent about their child's teacher. I don't think there is one of us who has ever experienced all negative things from all the teachers in our children's lives. These teachers who we vent about are being paid with our tax dollars. It would be great if they allowed us to complete a survey on all the teachers all of our children have. Personally, I think I need to start attending school board meetings. We have a special education advisory board that I should start supporting. My oldest son just finished up his football season...3-7. Despite the losses, I wrote a personal note to the coach to thank him for working with my son and commented on how much personal growth I saw from him during this football season. Katey had an algebra teacher last year that gave her D's. She could not " get " his teaching. The worse part was that he wanted Katey to repeat the course this year. We went with Katey on this one. She is making A's in Algebra 2. I keep telling her to fax her interims to her old teacher Tim ended up going to the meeting this morning..he woke me up 10 minutes before they had to leave. He's much better at these meetings because I get emotional. I'll have to figure out what I should do about the regular teacher. I know now is not the time with the school holiday coming up.

I'm going to answer my own post..lol...with a follow up. Well the sped teacher forgot about the meeting with us (hey, we all have those days), but did meet with Tim. It's obvious they want to develop a self contained classroom for their special needs children (there are now 2 girls with DS in the resouce room..and one little guy with autism). Anway, Tim in his opinion agreed that social studies is very boring for , but because he loves math, he should go back into the regular classroom to be taught there. He loves to sit with his worksheets and do his work. So that is what they will be doing soon. One of the biggest problems with inclusion this year is that the regular teacher will not communicate with the sped teacher. An example...there was to be a video at the end of the day. 's special ed teacher included that in his schedule (and boy does he love his schedule!). When it was time to go, the teacher decided to do something else. This of course upset because he had been looking forward to it all day long. It upset his sped teacher, too because she had to deal with , plus she should have been told! See, she gets no support from the regular teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
