Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Interesting, I got the same answer. My in home tutor is allowed to go observe but only when there are no other children in the room. Some kind of privacy thing that has to do with special ed students. Some parents can be fairly sensitive to the fact that someone they don't know might inadvertantly gain information about their child. Honestly, I don't actually KNOW any.. But I have been told it is to protect the child's privacy. TS ----Original Message----- I have requested that a teacher from my son's private school be allowed to observe his PPCD class. My son is dually enrolled. The school district has said that they do not allow anyone who is not a school district employee or a parent to observe the class. Does anyone know where I could find out if there is any rules, regulations or laws regarding visiting/observing the class? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Here is the funny part. When I wanted to be my own child's aid in the classroom, I was told that was " illegal " , and the reason was to protect other children's privacy. However, I was welcome to volunteer in the classroom. Go figure. observing class > I have requested that a teacher from my son's private school be > allowed to observe his PPCD class.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Look at district policy and the privacy laws. They are telling the truth in accordance with the privacy laws. I'll look it up for you later but they are again correct. Sometime they just use it to there advantage.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 That is not true!!!!! By law, you can observe your child's class for 45 minutes. Someone gave you bad information. It is okay if there are other children in the room. You can not discuss the other students with anyone, but you can observe. -----Original Message----- Texas Autism Advocacy www.TexasAutismAdvocacy.org Unlocking Autism www.UnlockingAutism.org Autism-Awareness-Action Worldwide internet group for parents who have a child with AUTISM.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Mayerson said something funny at the FEAT conference in Dallas about observing in the classroom.
