[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am likely an offender- although I don’t care about MERLD vs. ASD. The perspective I bring is that if a special education teacher and SN mom. Sometimes I see the school blaming/teacher shaming as a defense mechanism that not only hurts the kid (I see this play out daily!!) and stops the parents from addressing core issues. It’s hard for me to remain objective. 
 For my part I do try to steer clear on reading others posts, although I do post new topics. There is just a lot of damage done by scared parents who refuse to accept the fact that their kids disability isn’t the schools fault. IMO  [/quote]

I agree. What parents here think schools are a)responsible for and b) capable of doing can be wildly off. I hope I’m helpful but sometimes I chime in when parents are furious at teachers or schools or are just like “what do I put in the IEP” because having deep misconceptions about what teachers do or can do or why they’re doing it breeds distrust in schools that does NOT help these parents or kids. It’s not about being right or winning a fight, I just want people knowing what their rights are or what expectations should be or to explain why things are done the way they are so they can best advocate for their kids without entering an unnecessary battle with schools.
