I'm thinking DS1 was a much better fit with this teacher. Now that I see Mite with her, I don't see a good fit at all. Mite needs more nuturing. DS1 needed more structure. This teacher is all about structure. Then throw in that she's moody from the cancer stuff (I certainly offer her space for that.) and the little girl being killed in the tornado who was in her class 2 years ago and the whole school still riding on the tornado roller coaster.
It's just been a horrid start to an uptight situation for Mite.
I really think I was duped about the mid-year skip. But, I'm still working on it. I spoke just today, at a gifted gathering, with the state gifted director, who originally suggested the skip, and she said she will meet with our district gifted director in Nov and will work with him on developing a better IEP and education plan for Mite.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....we'll see.
