[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't talk to the teacher. This is the perfect opportunity for your son to self-advocate. If he was truly denied something he was promised he should have another conversation with the teacher. Chances are he knows exactly what happened and his part in it. [/quote]

This.  I was kind of like your son (but I'm female) and when I responded to my parents wanting to do some sort of follow up with "not really" or "no it's ok", it usually meant there was another side of the story that was not favorable towards me.  [/quote]OP here, just to clarify. If this is in regards to the "not really" statement my husband said that.  I haven't asked my son yet to go to follow up with his teacher yet. Which is why I was surprised he did on his own the next time.

The role-playing is a good idea, we have actually done that this year with other scenarios. My kid is typically the kid that takes whatever is given to him so we have role played scenarios and showed him how to have a respectful back and forth with his teachers instead of allowing them to just give him a one word answer and him not advocating or following up further.[/quote]
