[quote=Anonymous][quote] No I paid a person to tell me my child was dyslexic. When she observed the classroom she made suggestions to the teacher (and principal). The design of the desks, the order of the classes, the use of the board vs lecture, etc. The teacher wasn’t as defensive as you she used all the suggestions to make her classroom a better environment for learning. But you fo demonstrate his the teacher can be the problem and simple suggestions to improve are net with hostility. I’m left wondering how the teacher accommodated all of these suggestions that directly benefit your child while simultaneously supporting all of the other children in the class. Also, you need to realize how your initial statement sounds to a teacher. Teachers have to take responsibility for everything. They are used to hearing “simple suggestions” from their administrators, from parents, and from anybody else who spends 2 seconds in their classrooms. Often these suggestions contradict. [/quote] NP. I was left wondering why the 1st poster initially described the teacher as in need of 5 suggestions for improvement (connotation: poor teacher) when the teacher, once presented with information specifically about how to help a student with dyslexia, made all the changes requested. This teacher, who probably was never trained in how to help a student with this condition, did everything asked of them by an evaluator whose job it is to know all about dyslexia. Sounds like a pretty good teacher to me.[/quote]
