At a Loss

[Guest guest]

If anyone else reads this please read

bottom post first to follow along:

Since I posted the bottom post I called

the school counselor today just asking how my son was doing. I did have other

things I wanted to discuss. They are doing as the company that tested for

aspergers as they suggested but one that doesn’t make any sense.

Especially since I know how his room teacher feels, she doesn’t like him

leaving the class because she can’t teach him everything there is to know

for the year. The company suggested that he be sent to fourth grade reading and

be graded within that class room instead of hers. When I confronted them today

about it they say “because he isn’t finishing his 2nd grade

work he cannot go to another class, it’s illegal”. What I don’t

understand is how they can tell me when I have concerns over bad grades he is

bringing home for my signature on a consistent basis, but yet still passing

highly. The point I was trying to make here is if he is making good grades all

in all what does it matter if he does the work or not? The counselor was headed

towards the meaning why he doesn’t finish his work, defiance. I was outraged!

This school counselor is a Doctor! She knows better. The thing is it maybe

somewhat of defiance, after all they are keeping him away from his break to

make him finish his work! Funny thing is I never see those finished work, good

grades. What’s up with that? I have I then topped it off with, “Take

a look at his records since kindergarten since he has been at this school he

has had a problem with focusing, staying on task, daydreams, defiance. Heck,

the first grade teacher took him to the kindergarten class so he could “learn

to follow directions”. I don’t know what else to do here I

feel as if I have talked until I am blue in the face, by the time I can do

something about it as usual, it will be another school year and I will be

fighting the same battle until he gets out of this school. Suggestions Please……Please…

RE:

Homework

Hiya…don’t

get me started on school. I continually get graded papers weekly with the same

topic. Written in red it’s always Devin had more time to finish his

work than any others, was given xx amount of time to complete. The work will

have a bad grade on it because he has skipped problems-not finished. IM so beyond

this I want to rush down to the school and tell them a thing or two. I know I

would only be heard in one ear and out the other.

2nd

Grade my Devin is to complete a math work sheet, a literature work sheet and

study spelling words. Tonight was a bit better with his homework just to get

him started was a challenge. The way they were going to handle this before, he

was to be sent to another teachers room to help him stay on task, to get his

work done. But only during HIS break time! That seems so unfair and I agree

where I read earlier in a post….they need this break to work off the

excessive energy!

Anyway,

These teachers need to give this already extremely bright kids a break! <

agree!!!!!!!
