Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Yesterday I got a note home saying Aislynn was afraid of the glass beakers in Science class. Apparently someone told her that one broke in another class, and she immediately put her hands over her ears, and moaned. Jim was reading this report to me, and I said " Yeah? So what's the problem? " He said, " She's freaking out over the beaker. " " Yeah, so what's the problem? " This went on for some time before he stated that she doesn't want to touch the beaker. Aislynn said that she didn't want to be startled if it broke. Sounds fine to me. So what's the problem? Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't even deal with a kid holding her hands over her ears and moaning in her own idea of fear, then I have the wrong people working for me. (c: Must she TOUCH the beaker? I mean, really. I don't see any solution to that, anymore than I could when a butterfly goes by and she instantly claps her hands over her ears and quietly screams. They have to let them have SOME of their traits! As far as I know, there are not any other things that she has this reaction to in school. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2001 Report Share Posted December 15, 2001 > Must she TOUCH the beaker? I mean, really. > That's what I'm wondering when I ask about a solution. Surely they can have her lab partner do the beaker bits without her *having* to hold it and without docking her marks, right? Sorry if I seemed to give offense - I was really asking how they're going to work around this. Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want them to accept her as she is. So she's afraid, that is something about her personality I believe they need to work around. Heck, I do all the time.
