[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ And as an afterthought, this is a parents board, for parents of special needs kids. This is a support board. I dont find it particularly acceptable for you to be ON this board, nor commenting, as you are not a parent of a special needs kid.

I dont have any issue with a non-parent posting (a special ed teacher etc) if the post is supportive.  But frankly, we families of SN kids have to deal with enough school negativity toward us which is hugely widespread, and this support board is where we come to share our experiences and try to work through this incredibly complicated system. Its not a place where we should have to listen to you re-hash the negativity you put out there toward us every day.

So go away.  [/quote]

Yes please.  And OP is not even local.  So maybe your school system is a bit more flexible and amenable to SN kids and families than the giant, lumbering systems we have here (ie - MoCo).  As a teacher, you have ZERO idea of what it is like to parent one or two SN kids and navigate a system which is fully stacked against you.  Do you think I like paying for advocates and tutors and emailing SN teams at school on a weekly basis?  Not so much.  But that's what it takes to get heard.  We have been lucky to have a year here and there when my kids had teachers and team leaders who "got them" and who cared enough to educate them in the most appropriate way, often to the chagrin of the school administration.  Those years were a gift, because I could back off and breathe easy for a bit.  Those teachers are few and far between.

So yes, please go away.
