[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks 1:54, I'm at your school and our kid does complain of bullying, though likes school v much overall.  Far fewer hours of support too including none in target language. Think we need some there. Can I connect with you offline somehow?[/quote]

You can post an anon email address.  The writing support is not given in the target language bc the Sp Ed teacher does not know it (I don't know if the school has any bilingual Sp Ed teachers anymore, the one we had who was awesome left after 1st grade after two yrs) but DS needs help with organizing and using a graphic organizer so the Sp Ed can tell him what to do in English which DS works in the target language.  Also, his teacher in the target language is very helpful.

My kid tells me there is no bullying in his grade at all so these issues are grade specific.  You should complain if there is even a hint of bullying, I've found the school very responsive even if I thought the issue was very minor.  There are all sorts of issues in our grade that could be a target for bullies but there isn't any bullying...  so much so that a friend of mine who works at the school calls it a little "utopia" - The kids at least in our grade are very accepting of just about anything even more than many adults.

DS use to get 20 hrs of sp ed support a week - which just meant that the Sp Ed teacher was present in the classroom.  DS does not need help with academics except with writing but needs social supports.  He loves the Sp Ed teacher and the school counselor.  We cut it down to 12hrs a week bc the pullouts (for social skills w/SLP especially) was interfering with academics and he didn't really like the class anyway and has lots of friends although he is only friendly with the "chosen" few.  Other kids like and want to be friends with DS so we didn't see it as a problem.[/quote]
