Sometimes when I’m looking for information or support, I read posts that distract from what I see as the purposes of this board. The way that frustrations are expressed sometimes make me feel that we’re not all trying to help each other. Mud slinging helps noone, including the person slinging the mud. Expressing frustrations is, in my opinion, very helpful, but I think doing so in non-offensive ways will ultimately be more helpful to everyone, including the person who is frustrated.
Imagine a boat that we’re all in. If someone is angry and piercing holes in the bottom of the boat, we then all have a problem. Please, let’s not do that.
Also, if one person seems to be slinging mud, let’s not sling it back. That doesn’t accomplish anything other than to make this site less helpful.
Re: working together
I know there are some good teachers out there…becuase one of my son’s has had a few…I have had about four of them…but they are hard to find!
My other child has an IEP. The IEP says Reduced Paperwork…Two of his teachers do not understand what that means, because the paper work is not getting reduced.
Why?
I called the PE/Heath teacher up today and told him my child would not miss bonus PE . My child has finished over the amount required Since his paperwork hadn’t been reduced.
The teacher still wants to prove something by forcing my child to miss bonus PE.
Every teacher wants to try and fix him without reading the instructions!
He says he has been teaching for twenty or thirty years…I thought to myself…that is sad…because he still doesn’t get it.
How can parent and teacher work together when most teachers won’t educate themselves and read about learning disabilities?
Re: working together
Ball, it wasn’t worth responding to. You aren’t going to change your mind. But if it makes you feel better to feel like you won, go for it.
You did not prove anything just because the mud did not come back does not mean you were right. I don’t think you like anyone or anything so no matter people say you will come back with a big pile of negative, so most just decide to ignore you.
