That is really unfair that they aren't letting him get books at his level frown

On the other hand at least they can take books home from the library there. K kids aren't allowed to bring books home at our school so we just get them from the library instead.

m2gts and Jamie B: Agree with you. It really does feel like this major roller coaster ride. Every time I have a good experience and feel like someone is listening and going to help, what we discuss doesn't happen. While your guys act out from boredom, mine just lets it slide off his shoulders and then tells me about it. One of my friends told my husband last week that I worry too much and should just let it go.

For instance, follow up to library yesterday: DS comes home with One Duck Stuck. I ask if the librarian showed him the dino books he wanted. He said, No, he was only allowed to pick from the table and he didn't want to/think he could ask for something else. GRRR. It should be so simple. Plus, the reading specialist who was supposed to retest him last week hasn't gotten back to me. I sent a follow-up e-mail today, so back to the waiting game.

We've got PT conference on Nov. 11 and I need to figure out how to address this all. A friend's mom who navigated this path in our school 8 years ago under a different principal is giving me advice and has told me I can use her daughter's name to make the point that the school has appropriately dealt with this before.

What's sad is I live a county that many rank as one of the tops in the country. But only if you're a round peg in a round hole. Sigh.
