[quote=Anonymous]Thanks- it was already so long.

Yes—100% agree that a teacher can only do so much and if beyond her capacity please tell someone.

I can respect that the teacher doesn’t have the capacity and willing to support in anyway possible- that includes moving her to another class. Im researching a new school. But why extract her from a school that she continues to love and her friends if there are solutions.

If there aren’t solutions okay then it’s my responsibility to do it.

I’m frustrated that she is gatekeeping the information such that we can’t better support the teacher and DD. Teachers have it hard enough. I just wanted confirmation that things weren’t working. We’re things as bad as we thought?

Had her tested she has high iq and adhd. I’m working with an ADHD coach to navigate a system that is new. She has a 504 and I’m researching an IEP. There is 2E.

I had side conversations with APrincipal to try to get a feel of what reasonable expectations.

Leadership acknowledged teacher is “different” and it just seemed they wanted to say more and couldn’t.

I think DD has challenges but given she has never had an issue with any teacher (even the strictest) she has never complained. I checked in with every single teacher and they all said she is doing excellent.

I think it turned into a vent and teacher bash (because it did). There are personal experiences that impacts my response and makes me want to support and fight for my child if needed. I do appreciate the feedback regarding my personal behavior. Thank you.

All of that put aside. I acknowledge the past doesn’t always help the future. What’s done is done and what can be done next?

1. Is it common practice to notify the parents if an elementary student is failing?

2.DD needs an environment where she is learning. An environment where she feels safe to learn and grow. If there is a learning need get her support she needs.

3. I also recognize executive dysfunction. She is capable. When we sit with her at home and create an environment where she feels supported she thrives. When we are stressed and overwhelmed because we have a lot to squeeze in that day and rush—— she shuts down.
