[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then there's the online grade reporting system in middle and high school that emails you daily with grades from tests and assignements. Edline is a relentless barrage of bad news for us. And then I think if it's hard for me to deal, how hard it must be for DD who tries fairly hard but still fails a lot of tests.[/quote]

Edline is a constant reminder to me that the teachers at my kid's middle school could give a rat's ass if my kid learns anything at school. They seem to get a sadistic glee out of  sending a big fat F into your mail box on Friday and Saturday afternoon when you have no way of contacting them for a clarification of how your kid can improve his grade. If a smart child is failing, they don't seem to get that it the teacher's failure as well. They ignore my kid or assume he is doing nothing--yet when I go into class and actually force them to examine what he has done, 9 times out of 10 he has done the work but gotten caught up in some minor protocol problem--failed to follow through with some control freak type rule. I hate having to force teachers to be accountable for what they are (or in most cases are not) teaching my son.[/quote]

I'm really sorry for you PP.  My MS experience is just the opposite.  It is the first time that anyone made an effort to understand his needs and they went over and above what he was entitled to with services and supports to make him successful.  and, the guidance staff has been invaluable with helping my son follow through with turning in his work.  For me, I can finally let go.  [/quote]

My DS is at a DCPS MS--a well regarded one, too. @ of his teachers have gone above and beyond while 2 others have made my life and his a swirling hell of disappointment and recriminations. They act as though his dx is a minor handicap and they are just annoyed with him. I cry my eyes out and I feel like such a sh*t heel every time I get into it with them or him. It is an endless, relentless cycle. Sorry to hijack.[/quote]
