Thanks! I need that reminder. Easy to get in to a "now or never" mindset.

My counselor (for the marriage issues we are dealing with right now) gave me some apt advice. She pointed out that his teacher sounded very "rigid" and that it would be easy to get in a power struggle with her.

I am trying to keep in my mind that we have professional scholarly evaluations (several) and recommendations and I am not there to seek her approval. So far she seems to be the fly in the ointment. I'm saving any real discussion for the 504 and IEP meetings ahead.

I get the distinct impression that she does not believe a child could really be so advanced (you know gaps and all) or have any real mental health concerns. Due to these observations, I think implementing may be a challenge if we are forced to stay in her class.
