A warning to not hesitate and go observe your children class

[Guest guest]

It is necessary that by all means all as parent's go check and observe children

in class even

if they have no disability,

It is very important to see who besides the teacher is working with them

including even PE

and music... why???

Cause they are their influence to our children future and who will give them

also pride and

honor and not humiliation and dishonor,

They are not there to dominate your child and we as parent's should be aware of

that.

A lot;s of the aids and teacher's and other's have also different religious life

styles and

belief's in which in many case they will implement with our children.

There are a lot's of bad mouthing and politics within school districts , school

staff and

jealousy within even our teacher's in

our schools that we may not see but are an influence in what is going to be

next for

our children, I know that this is normal everywhere else but this are our

children and that

should not be a part of their childhood living experience specially when they

have auitsm

or other disability .

Why M I writing this?

Cause from my experience yesterday I learned that I need to watch my children

more

closely and frecuently and not to trust so much on other's.

I do not think that people are trying to harm our children but I do believe

their influences

can harm our children specially when this people are not trained properly and

district's

keep trying to hire non professionals for aids or staff....

to save funds to the SE department.

And this is already after we settle, with lawyers and have done everything by

the book.

Friendswood will not allow parent's to visit without permission from the

principal. I requested to visit and was told no as I would disrupt the

class.

Schools do it all the time. You have to go to the office, show your ID, they

copy it, make a sticker of it with where you are going within the school.

This is to keep our children safe from predators but it also keeps you from

knowing what is going on in their classes.

The best thing, if you can, is to volunteer at the school so that you can

see what is going on school wide. Be there 1st thing in the morning so you

can see what happens in the halls as the children are going to their

classes. Work in the parent center, if they have one, so that you can

deliver tests, worksheets, art work, etc., from the workroom. That way you

have a legitimate reason for being in the halls during the school day.

Don't protest at everything you see until or unless it is a danger to a/your

child. That way you can gather info while you are there. If needed, keep a

journal of what you have seen and then go to the principal with your

concerns. Get to know as many teachers as you can. Eventually as they see

your are a concerned parent they will start telling you about the other

teachers and even the principal. That way you can know who to talk to

also. Sometimes the principals are worse than the teachers.

Been there

Done that

I got invited by the aid and the teacher, also, I got my visitor sticker and one

of the

reasons is because of my children's condition with autism, I am also parent

training, and

parent's are invited to go one day of the week to the library to parent help, to

read books

and do printing, I am not saying the aids and teacher's were bad, but I had a

sour

experience about the talking behind back's and the way they think and change

things just

cause they think is best for them when they have an exact IEP and agreement of

the ARD

or the mediation, without even notifying the principal.

And I add it the religious part, cause of a situation I had with aid about her

thinking a

priest and prayers from some religion could healed my " so ill children "

I prefer not to say more because they were several situations that are not

terrible but they

shouldn't be tolerated .

i am supose to again tomorrow and then with y 2 other boy's.

If each parent came and visited the class, it would be a madhouse.

But let's be realistic, how many parents truly do visit their kid's

class? Not many. So I'm not sure where this policy came from.

Besides, the child is yours, not the school's child. You have a right

to see the child anytime, anyplace, as long as you have done the

security thing by registering that you are on site.

I can understand how some teachers can be intimidated by a parent

standing in the back of the room. But to me, it should just be part

of their job.
