GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING!!

[Guest guest]

We had our meeting at the school today. 8yr son is not doing well

academically so towards the end of the meeting, which is bogus anyway,

we presented the team with a formal evaluation letter.

Funniest thing I've ever heard in my life was when the school

psychologist, after reading the letter, smiles at me and says " Oh, you

didn't have to put it in writing. We can just talk about it here. "

I almost had a conniption! I can't believe they would actually SAY

that. I know that they can be difficult to work with in terms of IEP

and 504, but really? How could she just come out and be so condescending??

I just smiled and said " Oh yes we do. "

So make sure everything at school meetings are in writing. KEEP A

PAPER TRAIL for accountability!!
