[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really think that those who are telling me to leave it alone are somehow engaged in the school system. Please note this situation brought out the act activist me that never ever happened to me before. Maybe it is a maternal instincts and being fed up by things I’ve seen in the system since my child entered it in the first grade. Perhaps things that I’ve seen just filed up and finally I’m really really fed up and want to speak up. I will take the time I need to at least try and get those people who are paid by our taxes to just do their jobs a little bit properly. my requests were simple and very specific. ‘Please provide the list of assignments that are missing and indicate where to find them online. if it is a paper assignment, my child probably lost it so we need an electronic version, I said. But I said it in the much much nicer way with a lot of apologies for missing the assignments earlier in the qtr where my child was not focused and didn’t let me help him, telling me that he’s got everything under control and he’s a big boy… Not a single time 5:04 counselor reached out to us with any updates whatsoever or on any check ins that she has conducted. 0 When I reached out to her a couple of times only, She promised things, but did not follow through in full. Just some little things are done, but important things are left out. Secondly, the county still needs to know formally the issues that Schoology Integrated with Google creates for kids with special needs. if you read some of the posts here about Schoology Integrated with Google, you see that for the kid in the middle school to succeed, an adult needs to sit down next to the kid trying to figure out the assignment planning situation on a daily basis for at least one hour or more. I do not think this is OK. especially this is not OK, as It creates extreme difficulties for special needs kids. Once we finally found math assignment by chasing down the teacher, he took freaking two minutes to get it done… [/quote] So you are blaming the school because your son lied to you for the entire quarter until the very end. You have had access to Schoology for the entire year. YOU have your own access. I'm an FCPS parent and everything about how to log in to my parent account is sent in a zillion languages. I can see every missing assignment. You are accusing school staff of failing to to their jobs even "a little bit properly". Seriously, insane parents like you are why I left teaching after 7 years (and this was 15 years ago). That counselor probably has 300-500 students on his caseload. The math teacher probably has 150. And you're blaming THEM for the fact that you failed to supervise your child's progress until the last week of the quarter?!?! You're the one failing to do your job even a little bit properly....not so much because you didn't push your kid who claimed to be doing fine (even in your heart of hearts you knew he wasn't) but because now that you realize how much he missed, you want to make it everyone else's failure rather than his.[/quote]
