[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. While I sympathize, this woman has wreaked operational havoc on the schools her children have attended. I know one AP who spent her summer dealing with document requests from her instead of working on things that were needed to open school in the fall. [/quote] She was an "advocate" for one of the students in my lower ES class. She and the mom of the child were nasty from the second we sat down in an initial meeting. I typically walk into a meeting and present a pleasant greeting and small talk. Neither would make eye contact, let alone smile. They interrupted and they looked for any opportunity to find a "gotcha" moment. I remember trying to point out some positives about the child's academic work and they didn't want to hear it. It was all very negative and stressful when all I wanted to do was work with the parent in support of the child.[/quote] I don't know. This doesn't talk about anything actually that was being worked on. I wasnt at the meeting but you seem very passive aggressive about the purpose of the intervention or IEP meeting expecting too much positivity from it and its purpose. FCPS spends too much time hiding behind positive comments to get them out of doing work. Maybe you read the meeting wrong expecting a work session to be super positive and congratulatory rather than discussing hard topics and saving the positive comments for another time or the end of the quarter or year when growth was actually achieved. If someone was bringing an advocate I would understand that they wanted to face some challenges and work on solutions. It would annoying to me as well if [b]the meeting kept getting redirected to positives[/b] and I was paying a large sum of money to someone to work put problems. She should have redacted the staff names as well but since she runs this business it makes sense that she is a watchdog for this type of stuff. I still haven't seem FCPS say anything on it. [/quote] You’re correct. You weren’t at the meeting.[/quote]
