No problem. I was going to scratch through those types of comments -- just

enough to let them get the gist of it, you know. No need to make her any

angrier.

I will probably go ahead and remove him from school again anyway.

I'm starting to think that's what they want.

My God, do they have any idea what it will cost them to educate him in

another county -- a county that doesn't have to pick up the tab and who will

probably give him everything he needs BECAUSE they don't have to pay for it?

I'd be royally ticked off, but that's my opinion!

Maybe it's just me

I'm not going to say what I think. There are teachers here. Maybe they can

give their opinions. Maybe some of you moms with kids Boone's age can give

your opinions. Maybe some of you who have kids who have been Boone's age can

give your opinions.

Maybe I'm just overly-sensitive.

For those of you who don't know, Boone is five years old and in

kindergarten.

Please look at this and tell me what YOU think. Please be completely

honest with me. Someone's health may depend on it.

I don't think it's just you.

I think it is fucking incredible that he can do a worksheet like that at

all. I think if the teacher knew jack shit about autism she would know that

handwriting is a MAJOR issue for most of our kids. I think every answer on

the damned paper was correct so why the hell is she coming down on him like

that?

But maybe it's just me.

CAN he do better? Is his writing usually better than that?

I thought you were keeping him home until they called that guy, or

something. ?

NO it's not you. That teacher needs to learn a lesson in positive

reinforcement and/or constructive criticism rather than tearing down

what I think was an AWESOME effort on Boone's part.

What an idiot.

> For those of you who don't know, Boone is five years old and in

Two of my children were ADHD and one was not. I was a firm believer

that children should enjoy the years before school. They did not know

how to write when they went to kindergarten. My daughter wrote like

this until she was in the 3rd grade and she never did catch on to

neatness or stuff like that. This is ridiculous for a kindergarten

teacher to say. First of all, Boone is autistic, has she heard of the

word? Second of all, if she said that to an NT child, it would

shatter self-esteem. By third grade many NT children already dislike

school, is she trying to get them to teach them or is she trying to

belittle them. (And yep, I've given teachers a piece of my mind, more

than once). Didn't school start a mere 5 months ago? Kindergarten is

to get the hang of school, not the stress.
