[quote=puffin]I am not sure that you can tell the administrator your real reason for asking for math at the other school - what can you possibly say - that this teacher is bad/not doing her job/not treating your DS fairly? If you did, then it makes the admin of the school look bad - as if they are not in control of the situation - to such an extent that people are moving to other schools for a single subject due to the poorly run math program?
Well, this
is the reality. And apparently this math instructor and math program have been a problem for awhile. Maybe if this started happening he would do something about it! The word on the street is the admin of the school already does look bad due to this teacher. The math teacher is horrible.
Anyway, my DS will not want to move entirely. He is finally really taking off socially at this school and is very happy there. He has a good scribe, good resource teacher, good friends, good regular teacher. Good gifted teacher. They all know him well and are all (with the exception of the math teacher) very familiar with his twice-exceptionalities and are all on board completely with his iep. and accommodations It would be horrible to transfer him completely his last year before middle school.
