Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy I was chastised by the principal today

I wonder if our principals know each other. I was chastised last week by mine. He pulled me aside and basically told me my emails need to be "nicer and more thankful"... he told also told me I push too much. It was a bit patronizing when I all I want is for one of only about three accommodations that DS REALLY needs to be provided to him consistently.

Also, just something to remember - be careful because all of your emails are forwarded to the principal and beyond. Just keep that in mind, it will be read by the principal and it will e read by strangers in the district even, who do not know you your child or the background. Even though the advocate I talked to said my emails were well-written and fine in both tone and content I have made a conscious effort to be very careful about what I say and how I say it.
