Teachers, would you appreciate this?

I taught overseas and when I came back to the U.S., my students had created a book for me. Each student wrote or dictated a letter to me along with a drawing and their photo. Parents wrote notes too and so did my colleagues. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.

Someone could paint his hand to stamp on the page.
You have a very long road ahead of you.

I know this for a fact as I've been there. A parent's attitude greatly influences outcomes.

Pissed? Really?

Can't help but wonder if your negative, angry attitude at the world contributes to your child's issues.

Would you be less pissed if the parent organizing the effort excluded your child?

You could contribute something yourself and saying something nice from a parent's perspective. That would also be appreciated.

Actually, I did, in the post before.

I think it's a marvelous, thoughtful idea.

OP says the parents would be asking the question of the child. I guess if your child's speech delays are so profound that he/she cannot communicate with a parent just one thing about his/her teacher and speech prevents him/her from drawing anything, then your anger is probably misplaced on the parent trying to be inclusive.

I have received this as a teacher and given it as a room parent. It is perfect!

PP has to be a troll. Why would a child who literally cannot form a sound or hold a crayon in any way be in a preschool as described where all the other kids can?

That would not be an appropriate environment for that child in the first place
