And now he thinks he's bad at music too. So - have to undo that damage! Argh.
Next year, we will be emailing his teachers every week, asking to see his work and making sure he's not getting discouraged.
Is the emailing bit in 504 plan? I'd like to think that of course you'd get a response to your check-ins, especially in early elementary school, but after the last year we've endured (excuse the histrionics, but that's been the feeling), I'd want it spelled out with absolutely no room for misinterpretation.
For instance, DS' 504 said "mom will write weekly email to check progress" or something to that effect. It did not expressly state that teachers were to respond and so they did--or didn't, when they felt like it (I guess). I wouldn't have known to document "non-compliance" anyhow, but arguably, non-responses weren't non-compliant.
Thinking perhaps a contract-law attorney for next go-round. :P
