Meanwhile, other teachers came up with the idea of allowing E to read in class, before he starts being disruptive. It was the same idea I suggested months ago, but I guess it was more palatable with other teachers suggesting it. Since this started, E has not been sent to the office because of disruptive behavior in the classroom. Now his teacher complains that he isn't getting work done in class.
LOL...I find this amusing! Isn't it funny how that works!?! Sometimes making it seem like it is their idea is the only way to get what you want with the school and it is sad that we, as parents, have to learn to be manipulators and play the game.
I'm glad you got the testing and I'm glad he is enjoying it. I think that may be a good sign.
If by chance the test results come back and you don't agree make sure you find out what your options are. Some districts will still consider private testing results that differ from their own testing, but as other posters have stated - if you have to do private testing make sure the school will accept it.
Keep us all posted!
