[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a troll, there’s no teacher in the world like this. [/quote]

Unfortunately, if you've been following the school forums, there's been a string of threads addressing students with special needs where current and former teachers have displayed incredible ignorance and intolerance towards kids with disabilities.

This can't be an experienced kindergarten teacher, but it could be an older elementary teacher that recently switched to K. And if her colleagues knew she wasn't able to deal with kids with disabilities, they may have given her classes without kids with IEPs. That doesn't work for kindergarten, though, because a lot of kids won't get IEPs until after school starts.[/quote]

Huh? I’m not getting any of this from OP. OP isn’t refusing to help the kid - it’s an unusual situation she hasn’t experienced before. She doesn’t appear to be well-versed in the special ed process, but that is unfortunately the rule and not the exception. At least she’s on here asking for insight![/quote]

I didn't mean to imply any malicious intent, but it's both incredible and unfortunate that there are some teachers-- particularly lower elementary teachers-- that are so ignorant of developmental disabilities. Isn't that covered in their degree programs and school district onboarding?[/quote]
