LNEsmom-I think looking for change in another classroom is why we are still here...thinking it would get better the next year, the next...honestly, I don't think she would be better off in the other classroom...I think Mrs W is actually more tolerant and is trying harder for us, but I agree, I am very frustrated with the way they have blamed her for 3 years now and they don't seem to understand or believe me when I tell them that we don't have these problems at home. Our school is so small, it's not like we have a couple more classes, but we DO have that other 3rd...
We are taking her for private testing, but when I asked how much weight would be given to the psychologist's reccomendation, they are vague. They are incredibly resistant to the idea of her going to another class...it took me all this time to get her a seperate desk...I don't think our school is set up to provide subject acceleration and to be honest, if a grade skip is reccomended, I don't think we will stay...I think the kids would be fine with it, but some parents would raise a HUGE fuss...
I also agree that I think they are breaking her spirit. She just really seems misunderstood
