Cricket2- First, I want to say thank you! in answer to your question about talking to the gc; he simply said he would work with ds teacher- that I needed to go through the teacher. So, do you think I write a letter to the teacher and cc the principal and gc requesting time in 1st grade?

Boy, I had no idea trying to advocate for your child would be so hard. I have told him I'm trying to help make things better. So, he does know I'm trying.

Thank goodness for all the knowledgeable and resourceful people here! Helps to vent, but also helps to read, bounce ideas off of, and learn from everyone's experiences! Thanks.
