[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find most of the time that the teachers are the ones who are constantly lying trying to save their own ass. Also, so many teachers these days will use any excuse not to have to teach or be bothered with he children so a fair amount of parents are hesitant to share certain information with teachers because we don't want them to teach or ignore them based on preconceived notions.
My daughter has been in speech therapy for a couple of years and we haven't shared the information with her teacher because we know that she will be treated differently. [/quote]

I don't share our evaluations and only mildly tell them what is going on in speech therapy.  They absolutely treat my child differently (well, some) and have very low expectations for him.  When he does very well, they act all shocked and continue to underestimate him.  The eval's are catered to the health insurance not so much looking at all the strengths but the areas that continue to need assistance so things look far worse than they are.  We are avoiding public school for a few years as well so my child will not carry labels throughout if he can catch up.   We and the speech therapist have given advice/helpful ideas and they refuse to do them so we gave up.  We supplement a home a lot.[/quote]
