[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I didn't detect anything in the teacher's comment that implied any criticism of the parenting. [/b] But even if there had been, so what? If the daughter's organizational skills need to be worked on, the only useful response is a game plan for those skills to be worked on. Don't take a straightforward statement about a child's skill need and turn it into a discussion about the parent. [/quote] I think things look different on paper. We don't see body language or hear tone. As parents of SN children, we do have to develop a thicker skin, but sometimes that is pierced by strong body language and tone. For example, I learn in my college intro to theatre class that the sentence "I did not sleep with your husband." can have several different meanings depending which word the speaker emphasizes. [i]I[/i] did not sleep with your husband. I did not sleep with [i]your[/i] husband. I did not sleep with your [i]husband[/i]. :)[/quote]
