Feeling your pain, Trillium, feeling your pain -- although I am humbled by your optimism... we wouldn't even last a week!

Despite the road block thus far, though, don't give up on the teacher/principal just yet. Easy to say without being there, I know, but if you are already encountering "resistance" in the school, going to the district will only cause them to dig in their heels even more.

Maybe a pointed question to them as to what exactly then need to see/hear before they will consider a more robust accommodation for your child? More testing, either with the district, or private? How about asking for an end-of-year test for math?

No matter what, you've got to get someone at the school on your side... even if only partially.
