Incidentally, not sure if I shared this with the all of you. But, remember when they decided to provide my DS with a discreet one-on-one for scribing support during certain times of the day? Well, there was a lot of discussion about that they type of personality that para should have due to how horribly most of the paras have behaved towards my son and they gave him someone wonderful. I got to meet her and DS likes her and she is just plain nice - not jaded, and not resentful that the kid needs special help and all the while seeming to also recognize that he is bright. In fact, one the first things she said to me was "he is so bright and such a deep thinker, I really like working with him." smile Hoping he gets her next year too ...
