    Yes, but I'm willing to bet B will learn much more rapidly than the average second grader. We all know that, but don't expect Administrator to buy into it.
    You're doing great Mia, don't let them off the hook. Keep plugging away if you think this is what B needs.

    Well done, calm and professional. You're making your case based on the numbers and thats what they understand.

    I love it Dottie! For the Grandchildren!

    Mia - well done! Go after that subject acceleration ASAP. Admins can be tricky, and sometimes will try to win by delay, so keep your eyes on the main thing - getting those special learning needs accomidated and be the 'nice' by so squeaky wheel!

    Yippee!

    Mia: You go, girl!

    If I have to advocate, I want you to do it for me! smile

    "Hello, I'm Kriston, and speaking for me will be my advocate, Mia. No, she's not my lawyer. She's just way better at this than I am!"

    LOL, Kriston -- I don't think you'd *really* want me! Though I'd probably do better with someone else's child, lawyer-like. laugh
