While DS was reading this book to me http://www.amazon.com/Eli-The-Boy-Hated-Write/dp/0966135369 and during the course of him telling me how much he can relate to the main character, he tells me that while he was taking his math test today, he needed his scribing accommodation for an "explain your answer" type question. Mrs. Teacher instructed him to ask Mrs. Paraprofessional to scribe his answer to that question. When DS approached Mrs. Paraprofessional and requested that she provide him his scribing accommodation, she responded "Seriously, DS? You can't write this by yourself?" So, DS is now going to be shamed and discouraged from accessing his accommodations during tests? When will this stop? Granted DS said, it wasn't a long response. He wasn't sure how long his answer would be when he requested the accommodation and started thinking of how to answer. But, really, is this sort of disparagment necessary? Am I wrong here? I really get the feeling that people at the school do not like us. They are really annoyed my DS gets accommodations. I suppose they really think we're just milking the system or something along those lines.
