they hired her and we asked for a transfer to her room and we were denied. The principal said that he refuses to move students that have IEP's. The big joke is that they are not even close in following the guidelines in his IEP so why does it matter...DH and I have made the decision that unless things improve in the next 2 days we are pulling him out. While he was out for the week sick, today a stack of over 28 worksheets came home for him to complete - all the work he missed -we sat and completed almost 3/4 of them in less than half an hour - they consisted of...plants and animals are a. living things b. nonliving things. True or False...Animals grow and change. Color, cut and glue the pictures that start with the letter P. I mean really- I am convinced this teacher lives for her worksheets! No wonder why he is a mess when he comes home. I wrote her a note explaining that DH and I are concerned and asked if we could have a meeting with her to discuss some ways to help him be successful and sent it in today.....she emailed me later and said that the principal, guidance counselor and herself would be willing to meet next week. I don't want to meet with a giant team - I was already intimidated by the massive group that showed up at his IEP meeting...I had hoped to just meet with her to have a good discussion - oh well.
Thanks guys so much for the ideas/information! We have an institute of technology near us and i will contact them to see how to place an ad on campus. I will also sit down and read through the whole mentors section on the davidson board - thanks a ton!
