[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- I’m guessing the weight is based more on tests and things done in class because we check behind to make sure all assignments are completed/ reviewed/turned in on time. However, even with checking the planner sometimes the teacher will tell me she is missing assignments and her request doesn’t correlate with anything listed in the planner. The planner is to be reviewed and signed by teachers.

-Her errors tend to be inconsistent. For example she’s multiplying decimals just fine and then she starts the next problem. Simple errors, like 2 x3= 9 vs 6. Rushes through the directions. Sometimes she knows the answer and we can’t figure out why she wrote the answer she did.

- We had concerns. Navigating this 504 process is new. We had made some changes and the check-in was also a pulse check. It was how are things, any changes, anything we should be concerned about. While waiting we continued waiting we kept observing and trying new things. We hoped that no news was good news. However our observations were concerning—- we started working with the ADHD coach. We felt there would be value to know what’s happening day to day inside the classroom. Children tend to behave somewhat differently in different environments.

- There is something up. My focus is that she learns. The non-tangible items won’t be areas of focus. However, parents know their children. DD never complains. Never. She has had strict teachers. She has never complained. Not once. The first time she shared I told her people have different styles and the benefits. Teacher seemed very structured and we discussed how that would help DD. However DD’s comments weren’t tied to the teachers rules.

- Her feedback was specific to how she was being treated. She has always been articulate and an empath. She said she makes me feel like I don’t belong. This started the second week of school. She has refused to answer DD questions and when she does it’s in a demeaning to make it clear to not ask questions again. So now she isn’t grasping concepts and won’t ask questions.

- Within the first 7 days DD picked up that there was an issue and since then it’s just been downhill.

- A child who wants to learn doesn’t deserve this.[/quote]

OP, you’re being exhausting. You don’t like the teacher. Your kid is 9, and I would trust her but also know she may not be understanding the situation accurately. Math may be hard for her. It is for many “bright” kids. It was for me. The errors sound like adhd. I don’t know how you want the teacher to slow her down in a mainstream classroom and take it slow. You want very personal attention. That’s not public school. I’d get out of AAP. [/quote]
