Note from Special Ed PK

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys-

What do you think of this note that I received from my 3.5 year old son's

Special Ed PK? I will copy it as follows:

I just wanted to let you know that at the end of the day, Tyler tried to leave

the classroom to walk to the Bus by himself. We have talked to him about this,

but he isn't quite understanding. Would you mind talking to him about waiting

for teachers as well? We catch him before he leaves the doorway, but as we get

more children, this may be unsafe. Call me or e-mail me with questions.

Signed,

his Teacher

First of all- how do I get a 3.5 year old apraxic child to understand the

concept of waiting in the classroom from home? I did leave a VM message for the

teacher- and asked her to call me. I offered to come into the classroom and

instruct Tyler about waiting for them. I just don't understand this note.....

since this is a Special Ed PK, shouldn't the doors be locked? Also- if the

Staff can't look after the safety of the kids, then shouldn't they have more

Staff in the class? I do not want to stir up trouble, but I am feeling a bit

angry about this note........ even " Typical 3.5 year olds " wander at times! I

will do what I can to help them, but I never expected to read a note like this

from a Special Ed class!

Advice please-- how can I get my point across and offer assistance without

appearing to be too aggressive?
