[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was having issues so we had an evaluator sit in the classroom. They evaluator had a list of 5 things for the teacher (not the child, not the parent) to change.[/quote] This is what I see most often. Too often, classrooms/schools are not set up to be developmentally appropriate and teachers notice "challenging behaviors" that would not exist if kids had adequate outdoor time, movement time, social-emotional learning, etc. Teachers, who spend a few hours a day for 180 days with a child in a group setting, should consider their own practices first before blaming parents or jumping to some diagnosis they aren't qualified to make. --Former teacher & teacher educator[/quote] Holy cow! OP didn’t say they were diagnosing children or that schools are perfectly developmentally appropriate. OP wants to partner with parents to support students.[/quote]
