Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 ok listen to this.... ( Aspergers & ADHD - age 15 in high school) was in math class today and the aide that helps him who really only helps him ogranize and stay on task and that kind of stuff and she is only there is math and a few other classes, maybe one other, and in study hall after math, well they had told him Tuesday when he got all his Geomtery papers passed back, that they were not needed and were taking room up in his binder and take them home and leave them. Well, he got busy Tuesday night, did his English, had no math homework and then Ray's sister and her new baby from LACrosse WI and her aunt and my mother in law ( that Aunt is her sister) all came from WI. They were in Chicago and came here for the day and night. Well, they were here and went back last night to Chicago to stay with family. Well, of course was busy and so was I with them all night. We forgot to even check his folder. Mind you, he just plain forgot to throw out the papers. This is bizarre, the aide and teacher were mad that they found all those papers in his folder. They threw them out. was so upset. He said that his mom likes to see his papers. I do, and I keep them all til the end of the quarter or end of the year sometimes. He also looks at them for the final or nine weeks accumulative tests. He is getting a 97 % in that class. Anyway, he inisted that they give the papers back. They threw them away and threatened detention. The reason was ONLY that they want to teach him to organize and NOT bring all his papers and clear them out at home and he just had gotten them back TUESAY. The next day they insisted that he have them gone. WEIRD> HIs IEP calls for the aide to help him with his Aspergers and ADHD related problems, which are not academic, however, this seems a little overboard. I figure that they could staple them and give them back at the end of the day and say ," NOW take them home." They did not, they pitched them and refused to give them back. He went to the Social worker in his study hall after math, which is the last class, and told her about it. He stil didnt get them back. I did leave them a message on voice mail after school that I want all papers sent home and explained that we were so busy Tuesday night we did not even go through his folders. I always do that, but did not that one night. He has never been told before not to bring them back and leave them at home or they will throw them out. They are trying to teach him this, but it seems more like a punishment to me. ARGHHHH Schools.... we have strange behaviors TODAY from SOME teachers, never mind JUST the kids!! HAHAH ARGHH :_) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 , This is really odd!!! My son (age 14) also is working on organization, but is doing extremely well in school (TAG, honors, etc) Yet if anyone did this to him, he would really have a tough time dealing with it!!! We have it set up that he cleans out his binder on the weekends. We don't do it nightly because some nights it just doesn't work and some teachers want to recheck work that they might have missed marking down after grading. We don't throw anything out until the end of the quarter for that same reason (TC has a really hard time getting grades lowered for work that he has done and that has been corrected but that has either been marked down wrong or entered into the gradebook for someone else, which means it appears that he didn't do it) Anyway, I can't even imagine anyone insisting that they throw away his work. First off, he works too hard on it to just dump it. Secondly, it isn't their place to determine what gets thrown and what is saved!!! ~hugs~ Hang in there... and stand your ground!!! They are being unrealistic!!!

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 !!!! I am in the same boat, how about these teachers taking a life skills course on their own? Is their home life perfect, always on schedule, never forgetting anything? DOUBT IT!!!!!! I find with my son that they "look" for things to punish him, especially lately with all that is going on in Cobb. Don't they realize what is up with these kids?!?!? Send me your fax, I have a great article for educators of aspies...... OVER- REACTING? ok listen to this....

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 You know it really bugs me when teachers nit pick about stupid things like that. Are they going through every single childs math folder and insisting that they throw out old work? Probably not and im sure that there are others that have that stuff in their folders. They caused the problem!! Why did they get into a power struggle over old work. If it was really that important to them (for whatever reason) they should have gathered the papers and put them in an envelop so he could take them home to you, or purhaps just remind him again to give them to you. When I was in highschool I used to keep all my old math work in a three ring binder, the teachers TOLD us it is best to keep all our work until the end of the year to ensure that if something was missed by them that we had the work to show them. I also often refered to my homework if I got stuck on a problem somewhere down the road to refresh my memory. What fools! > > I always do that, but did not that one night.
