I typed a long answer to you, and I lost it Jessica!
Anyway, the short version is that my grandson was having a terrible time in school. My daughter was at the school, or on the phone, every day to get him what he needs. I even got the Board of Ed. involved. Needless to say, they do not like us at the school, but they do the right thing now!
Jessie took Brandon to be tested privately because she does not trust the schook system. He was given an IEP, and got lots of wonderful services, his grades went way up, and it made such a difference. Last year, the two 4th grade teachers were horrendous! Jessie made sure that these two are not teaching classes anymore! It really affected Brandon though, and he became school phobic, and then had to go to the hospital for an appendectomy. This year is much better, but she always keeps an eye on what is going on with his teachers.
You have to be an advocate for your son. As you can see, if you don't take over, they take 5 months to get the papers in!
I was a teacher, and I will tell you that you cannot wait for the school to do what needs to be done. Even the best schools have so many kids, they can't take the proper care of each one.
Your son's teacher sounds like an idiot, by the way.
