Guest guest Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I can speak for myself & my 3 daughters. YOU BET YA!!! That teacher is a disgrace to us all. .Do go to the Principal. then , if that isn't done THEN. Go to the school board. I really don't think trying to get around the current Teacher (?) is the way to expedite this. This Child NEEDS it corrected NOW- & the current teacher written up & put on probation. That is why you go to all the trouble to have the I E P and as stated in Crystal's post. " ITS THE LAW.. " maybe her hubby will also come to the school & read her the riot act as well. How anyone could do & say such things to a child and/or his mom is beyond me. I do so much wish you well .You & your precious family are in all my special thoughts & wishes. LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEv Stepping off the soap box for just a wee while:):) Re: I E P put together but now is being revisited and teacher problems. I am a teacher and I am appalled to be one when there are people like her around! The Law is on your side, she must accomodate the IEP and it's mandates. Get EVERYTHING you want in that document and make sure you keep track of all conversations, notes etc. Visit with the Assistant Principal as soon as you can. I'm curious how old the teacher is.... Relax -- you are doing the right thing. Keeping your child healthy is number one. A year before our son (wcf) was born my husband had a cf child in his 7th grade class. The kid was absent an extended amount of time and then underwent a liver transplant. When the 7th grade team met to discuss the child one of the older teachers was very nit-picky about late work from the cf child and not accepting certain things based on a time issue. My husband yelled at the woman -- how could she be so unkind when this boy might not even make it 8th grade!?! The cf child is now in 9th grade and doing quite well. He passed 7th grade, albeit barely, but he did because the teachers were made to realize the circumstances. So, keep going -- You have the support of two teachers right here (and how ever many more are on this listserv).
