[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you read too much into what she said? And why did you approach her to begin with? It’s not really the time to do so on BTSN.  I get it, she brought it up but you had to say who your kid was since she even knew who you were.  I doubt she launched into this in front of the entire class during the 10 min presentation.

Your post is filled with anxiety.  Give it some time.   Relax and see how he does and stop analyzing her comments.   Next year, do not go up on BTSN and say “I’m Henry’s parents and we wanted to introduce ourselves.”   I had to tell DH to stop doing this too.  The teachers are exhausted and it’s not the time.

This is such an unhinged take. I am going to repeat and clarify things myself to make it clear I wasn't unhinged, the teacher was at tables, we were all in the large cafeteria and they were spread out at tables after the presentation and said, come on by and meet us. So, we did.

Here is the thing. My husband really is the one who did the bulk of the work to support my son. He got him Orton Gillingham private tutoring, arranged the private in home tutoring (a different thing), did the legwork to get his inattentive ADHD diagnosed, including the testing, and lead the efforts on the IEP which were incredibly helpful and successful last year.

I think my anxiety is that I know...women. I can see the things that are unsaid and the non-verbal behavior and I just have my hackles up after that interaction. She very much had the vibe that she knows "advanced" kids and my son isn't the type she deals with.

One other thing. We are at a local level IV that really didn't even have that until recently. Our daughter went to an AAP center, struggled in math (she got in on her verbal COGAT of 160, her math was lower than her brother's). If anything, I think she doesn't want to deal with his handwriting issues around copying notes. That worries me.

His case manager is amazing and she's been with him last year, but I don't want to make trouble where there is none. I was just hoping to get some words of encouragement to calm me down a bit. I'm a worried mom.[/quote]
