Boo was able to finish out second grade all right, and she had a wonderful third grade teacher. Her teacher this last year was very sweet and sort of spacy. Boo loved that she made them laugh every day. We wrote a letter to the principal again asking for a similar classroom environment for next year. I think as long as she has a teacher who can work with her strengths and weaknesses, she'll be fine. Thanks again.Nicole*https://www.blogger.com/profile/02191346335959259277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478125105675360304.post-42038337897838500082013-05-31T10:54:33.823-07:002013-05-31T10:54:33.823-07:00I'm a little late on this post clearly, since ...I'm a little late on this post clearly, since it was written over a year ago. But I am APPALLED at your experiences with this teacher. Appalled, but not necessarily surprised. It's revolting what some teachers can do and get away with. Working in the special education community, I've seen things I can't believe. The special ed community is small, however. Unfortunately, it's almost standard to have all sorts of problems when your child is in a special ed program. But you guys are encountering this in a mainstream classroom! And obviously this teacher hasn't learned ANYTHING from your exchanges. And pushing her opinion of what you should be doing with your daughter on you guys is completely unacceptable. Since this post is old, I sure hope that you guys survived the rest of the school year, and that Boo was given a better teacher the next time around. Kids deserve better than teachers who only see black and white and therefore punish the kids who show a little color. It's just really too bad.thankyoueversohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770231682205967204noreply@blogger.com
