So what are you saying? Just do nothing and hope they figure it out? I think it's a parent's job to attempt to educate teachers on whatever disability or condition their child has, esp. if things have not been going well for the child. The parent is advocating for the child. It doesn't need to come across as "pushy", as in giving the teacher an article and saying "please read this by Monday and let me know what you think", but offers to give information should be fine, esp. if it's something that the teacher would not be normally trained on. Developmental coordination disorder, for instance. When I explained information about my DS, I gave them a link and said "This explains it better than I can." Most people in the education field don't know what it is. Or "slow processing speed". I doubt that was ever covered in teacher training courses. I think some articles can come across as pushy or critical of the teacher so parents need to be careful and do it judiciously. If the articles are just on "giftedness" and not a very specific issue other than that, I agree that can be taken the wrong way.
