After a very successful meeting with principal and learning specialist earlier this week, I got a snide email from DS's teacher saying that "she had been informed that I had some concerns." She has asked for a meeting next week to "go over her open ended curriculum again with me."
I responded, told her I'd be happy to meet with her but that I also thought the learning specialist should attend. I'm so frustrated! We went to the principal, came up with a plan and it seemed like a really good one! Now here's the teacher who wants to tell me the same stuff that sent us to the principal in the first place.
My plan at this point is to sit and listen and let her and the learning specialist have at it. I also plan on asking in a polite way (if I can muster it!) how she can be sure her curriculum will meet DS's needs when she has not done any assessment and has no clue where he's at academically. Just because her "open-ended" curriculum means he can use 10 unifix cubes instead of 5 to measure stuff... doesn't mean that he's being taught at his level.
Any other advice or thoughts? Does this ever end?
