[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to tone it down, OP. Your kid has many challenges ahead of them, and he won't benefit from having a mother who panics at the merest hint of a challenge. You need to model for your son how to deal with people.

First, it's rude to talk about specific issues during BTSN. I know some parents do it. But you cannot get into the nitty gritty on that night - teachers are exhausted after teaching the whole day. They need to grade and they need to teach again tomorrow. Schedule a meeting. No wonder she looked grim! She might be in a more engaging mindset next time you see her.

And if your worst fears are realized and the teacher doesn't believe your kid deserves to be in her class... so what? He is! You need to rope in the counselor or case manager and make sure accommodations are enforced and maybe new ones added. My kid had DOUBLE TIME ON HIS ACT AND AP EXAMS, plus a typing accommodation. He took 12 AP exams! He has double time in college! These things happen. You can call for an IEP meeting any time, without waiting for the annual meeting. You will not let yourself get worked up by words uttered at the end of a long night by a tired teacher who is unused to teaching a twice exceptional kid.

Go to sleep. Tomorrow it won't seem so bad.
