Re: school update

[Guest guest]

I am so happy to hear things are going well. I don't know what I'd do

about the PECS and singling out. My child starts school in Nov. By

then you will be a pro and can offer me allll sorts of advice! You

are right-kissing up does wonders(I used to be a teacher:-) )

Keep us posted.

You know, I DO have an opinion about the PECS and your son " standing

out " . First of all, I don't mean any disrespect(bc we are in the same

" boat " )but your son probably DOES stand out, regardless, and that's

ok. I was worried about my daughter standing out when she starts

school this Nov. I taught a first grader who had PDD-NOS and he

definitely stood out in the school. But you know what? Now that he is

in 5th grade, the teachers tell me he is the hero(and doing

wonderfully BTW) of the school and everyone loves him! I think you

need to do what is best for your son. You are going to be his mother

for the rest of your life. He will be in that school for 6(?) years.

If you think he would benefit from PECS, then I think you should push

for the use of PECS. How do you know that the teachers just don't

want to go to the extra work of PECS? That's what it sound like to

me. He needs as much assistance while he is young to help him go as

far in life as an adult. If that means he stands out for a few years,

so what. Lots of children stand out for various reasons and usually

are stronger for it. Good luck!
