Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I have just read 's post about introductions. I probably won't write too much as it is now 1am here so I really need to get to bed as I have a meeting in the morning with my son's primary school. The meeting is on a bad note as we have discovered that our son's lack of progress at the school is largely due to the ignorance and incompetence of a particular teacher and an assistant principal. So although I am seething because of the severe impact it has had on our boy, I am hoping to resolve my serious concerns so that we can all move forward in a positive manner for the sake of our son. The problem was highlighted by an encounter our son had over two days (As his teacher was away on camp)with an obviously gifted teacher at the school who had our son glowing and conducting himself as a model student which was in complete contrast to the last 5 months under the tutelage of his normal teacher. Anyway I am a single Dad of an 8 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Aspergers and some mild associated behaviours of ADHD. We reside in Australia. I have read all I can on the subject and have attended lectures by respect experts in the field here. I have sought the help from medical professionals so there is no doubt we have tried to provide all the support possible but it would appear due to the ignorance and or genuine lack of care or interest of some school staff members my boy is suffering. Anyway I thought joining the group might be helpful in the journey ahead of us. Not sure how anonymity works on the forum as to do we sign off with real names. So for now hello (Gidday) to you all and bye for now from, Butfornow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
