[quote=Anonymous]8th grade DS has a 504 for dyscalculia. They also have an awful math teacher (who is in 1st year at school/district and relatively new to the profession, my guess is under 3 years total). Limited instruction in class, obvious mistakes on things given to my DC/other students, poor organization, no response to emails (even really basic questions).

The school has a counselor and assistant principal for each grade who stay with students from 6th-8th. The counselor is the 504 contact and we have a really good relationship with her. AP is okay, but generally less approachable and often hear negative (from kids, other parents).

A few weeks ago I reached out directly to the counselor to talk about math and ways to help DS--trying to come up with a plan. When I first requested the meeting she suggested bringing in the AP AND the teacher but we requested it just with her since math has been such a struggle this year that it is actually cascading into his overall school experience. It was a productive call at the end she said that the next step for any changes etc would be an in-persoen meeting with her and the AP. We were fine with that approach.  A few days later the AP sends the meeting request and also says "I added the teacher."

This seems wrong and that a line was crossed...and brings us no closer to helping our kid with math this year.[/quote]
