Today I went to talk to the 7th grade special ed teacher.
As far as 6th grade has gone - ak! a disaster, a combination
of poor planning from elementary school and a very inexperienced,
disorganized 6th grade sped teacher. We finally removed DS from
all sped services for the year and set him up on a program we put
together with the school psych.
But this fellow has a program! With specific plans and materials
which he showed me! He talked about disipline and pairing kids
with the same work habits and style during study skills. He is thinking ahead to
what is going to be ahead of DS in high school with our district’s
writing program. And reading for content. And a spelling program
that is geared to kids with reading difficulties. And all the stuff
he does to communicate with parents!!!
You know I haven’t heard this MUCH about plans for my son
in ALL his seven years in school (incl. kgarten).
I’m, like, (to quote my 16-yr-old daughter) optimistic!
