 My son was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. Last year, he had a great teacher and an aide who encouraged him and helped him in anyway they could. This year, he has two teachers who I don't think understand what dyslexia is. He has an IEP and he still sees his aide, but his time with his aide was cut drastically. On Friday he came home with two double sided pages of science, five math pages, and a packet of spelling and reading homework!!! I about had a heart attack!!! It took all weekend to get the work done, and the weekend wasn't very relaxing for anyone in the house. One of his teachers suggested that we do homework in 15 min. sections. We are constantly being told that he is very intelligent, however he needs to work on his reading, writing, and spelling. I have talked to the teachers several times already since school started and they just keep telling me that in 4th grade, they students have to be responsible for their own work. If they don't find the time to write down their homework assignments, that is not the teachers problem, or if they don't ask for help, the teachers are not responsible for that either. I have explained to them that my son has expressed that he feels like he's stupid because the teachers keep wanting him to read out loud or read with another student.
