So proud that they are starting 2nd, fourth and 7th grade.
This year finds J at the Jr. High not but 2 blocks from where we live. He is terrified of this new adventure.
He needs to know he's not alone.
D started 4th grade in a functional academic classroom with 4 other kids. I pray this year is better than the last ones.
S started 2nd grade and has started dyslexia therapy at school.
She was identified by the school after running a full initial evaluation after I asked for one in writing. She has a 504 because Texas won't recognize dyslexia as the learning disability it is. We were told she was too intelligent to need special education services.
Word to educators: if parents come to you and state there's an issue... Do us all a favor and dig into it. You'll find often times there is a problem.
The teachers could do nothing but complain about handwriting and reading issues.
I do not want to waste time our your energy on things that are trivial.
Yes, it goes against what your district and campus admins say about us parents.
Honestly, I'm your biggest supporter although i am THAT parent when necessary.
It's really not you making decisions about kids in your classroom not receiving the help they need. Often times in my experience it comes down to either a campus admin or someone from the head office.
I've experienced teachers who speak out for their kids at IEP meetings get shunned... Shouted at and threatened.
This doesn't help anyone but the district save money by not helping the kid. It hurts the teacher in the classroom. She can't help the student. Even if it's help in something basic like communicating needs.
Teacher you deserve my blessing in the beginning of the year.
Not all teachers are evil. Not all wear halos either. They are humans... A few are wonderful and they earn it with every kid.
Go bless your teacher and give your support.
