[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know PP. I think the PP you're talking to did add something meaningful by pointing out you were pretty harsh. You have some good points but you may consider adding a little empathy to your posts next time. OP, Hire an advocate. Schools are very good at brushing off parents with bright kids who are having trouble at school so you need to hold their feet to the fire. Your child should not be having such a hard time at school with no help. We had the same problem with being rejected for IEPs and DC having a horrible year. The advocate really put the school in its place and we finally got one.[/quote] There were other snarky rude remarks that were reported and Jeff removed. Honestly, it is hard to judge empathy over the internet and criticizing a post just because someone thinks the tone is not sufficiently emphatic is not helpful. Most people here are trying to help unlike the rest of DCUM. I thought the pp who's post was criticized gave good advice and did not deserve all the snark. The two reasons that the pp mentioned for the rejection 1. child can't focus and 2. ran out of class room are not minor but the poster thought "I am curious as to what they can tolerate." For my SN child, these were the same two similar issues that our public school thought was problematic enough to give public funding for SN school. What worked for us was a a neuropsych eval that diagnosed ADHD and getting treatment.[/quote]
