Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 This is so hard. When Isaac was 5 and he would sneeze and there would be stuff all over his face, the teacher and the OT would scream, " Oh my God, how gross! God, don't you even know how to wipe your own nose?! " I was just appalled and my heart broke that my son would be treated that way. When I patiently explained that I was still doing hand over hand on the nose wiping they didn't budge. So, assuming 's teacher is better than that, you may have done all you needed to do with your follow-up phone call but my experience is that it is the rare teachers who is invested in this sort of thing. With Isaac, I did try to talk to the supervisor. I think it was about March when I saw this happen, twice and I just counted down the days until he was out of that school in June. This same school district, when they found out we were moving to Madison and that Madison practiced full inclusion screamed at me, " Your child is never going to learn to read! " And yet academically this is Isaac's strongest skill. I would be less inclined to take on the school if you think they have the big picture right. If they don't, every little step matters. Would they be open to teaching him how to wipe his own face as an IEP goal? He's so cute!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 thats one of my biggest pet peeves..when they send our kids home filthy dirty! I hate it! Last year would come home like that all the time...food on his face, snot in his hair, it was disgusting. Its like they treat them less than human...and my kid goes to a self contained special needs school. You think they'd know better. This year, he has a different teacher, and I don't see that anymore. I guess some people are more compassionate than others. I know I would never let a child go home to his parents looking like that. Just gotta stay on them, (school) to give your child some respect.  Re: Upset I would send a note in Pelasantly REMINDING them to ALWAYS have his wipes ready to use. If this does not happen, require it be put into his IEP.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I told the teacher that we've been working on teaching him to wash his face after meals. He's good at feeding himself but it's messy! Since his favorite game at home is to run from the table to smear his hands and face into the couch, curtain, dog, or rug, it's definitely something we need to address! He'll probably never be the neatest eater, but he can clean himself up, right?? His teacher agreed to work on this at school, as a " life skill " . It's not horrible, but it's a really bad feeling to feel like my kid's not being well-cared-for. Sent from my iPhone > This is so hard.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi , You bring back old memories of Zeb in 1st grade. He would come home from school with his face smeared with food and snot. He had a constant runny nose in those days.You would think that they would have washed his face. The teacher and aide were not as receptive and refused to wash his face. They used the excuse that they do not do that with the other 1st graders. I arranged for the aide to bring him to the nurse to have his face washed. I think they felt they would catch something. I am counting down the days to graduation. Charlyne > This is so hard.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 , No your not being petty. I would call a meeting with the principal, teacher and aid to correct the problem. We live 10 minutes from the school used to attend and he would come home with his pullup falling apart like he had been in a swimming pool. Since I stayed home with I knew how wet his pullup would have been if he had an accident on the way home. Do not put up with that BS. All kids deserve dignity.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 When my son was in public school (pre K4), they sent him home frequently with BM in his pants and reaking. He would also have a rash on his bottom, which he never had in his life (and I might add never had again). Given that he goes every morning at the same time, I assume he was in this situation all day long. > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > got home from school today with dried ketchup all over his face.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I agree with Liz. I would add a marked box of wipes & an email (if they have it) as well. A note each time he comes home like this & sweetly ask if they need more wipes. when does school end in your corner of the world? If you have already had your IEP, you can ask for what is called " an addendum to the IEP meeting " . At this meeting you can request that personal hygiene be added or a goal or whatever you feel is needed.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 This happens to us daily with who is 8. She requires a change of clothes a few times each week due to messy lunches, poop blow outs and water play. We send in clothes for her which they rarely use. Granted most of the time they do bathe her, but, they put her in too small clothes, completely mismatched and looking horrible. One day, her bangs were a bit long, instead of brushing them back, or something, they pulled all her bangs into the front and put them in a pony tail, she looked like a unicorn almost. It was not cute, it was silly looking. My husband and I have long agreed that we want her looking nice. It may seem silly and stupid, but, with her disability, etc, we just don't want her looking bad> I cannot explain it. But I can relate. For them not to wipe off the ketchup? What the heck is up with that? Sometimes I wonder if the teachers really do care!! 8, DS-ASD > > > > > > > > That's appalling!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Wow - I feel so lucky. Darwyn's aide asked if she could toilet train him so he wears a pull up to school and then he wears underwear at school and everyday she changes him back to a pull up to come home. And she's asked if there's cream she can put on his cheeks (they chap really easily). Just a comment that constant lack of cleanliness is definitely something to address, but if this just happens once in awhile, then I'd let it slide if you are happy with the general educational experience and care. There are days I send Darwyn (age 7) to school in his already messy pants from a breakfast spill or with a messy face if we're in a rush. And some days he comes home with a little yoghurt or paint in his hair. I think for most of us the occasional " bad hair day " or " messy face day " is just a blip in an otherwise cleanly routine. And I liked Kris' idea of a friendly reminder with an extra bag of wipes. But again - regular mess and regularly full diapers shows a lack of care that shouldn't be tolerated.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I started showing up during the day and I found him in diapers. That was not the crux of the abuse he suffered. We withdrew him after he came home and informed me one day. He ended up in the hospital due to illness and I had a good excuse to never send him back due to primary immune deficiency. It was a good lesson in not sending a child without proficient English to school. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > got home from school today with dried ketchup all over his face.
