I told the teachers we were having him assessed, and their reactions switched like night and day. They went from being visibly annoyed by him to being extremely kind and patient.
Because you were clearly aware that there was a problem and that you were obviously trying to address the problem.
It's really, really annoying when it's completely obvious that there is a real problem and the parent is ignoring it.
And I say this as a parent.
Mostly because you look at the kid and say to yourself "this is not going to end well."
