Yesterday I had a meeting with my sons regular classroom teacher, his special day class teacher and his math teacher. I have been concerned about re-integrating my son back into a regular classroom for 4th grade or he will have to be bussed to another school that is almost 10 miles away. He is ADHD (and on medication) and dyslexic, and this has been our goal since last year. It wasn't much of a meeting... During a 45 minute meeting, I was able to speak once for about 3 minutes and was interrupted twice by his regular teacher. It seemed to turn into a "let's tell this kid everything he does wrong" session with very little conversation directed toward me. After his SDC and math teachers told him they had confidence that he can "learn to focus better and get that reading level up", his regular classroom teacher looked right at him and said "I don't have that confidence in you that you will be able to do this in 3 months to be able to stay at this school". I am livid! That is fine if that is her opinion, but I really feel it was something she should have said to me in private, not to his face in front of his other teachers. I watched his whole body language just slump down in his chair. I am bound and determined to prove this woman wrong and could use any helpful advice I can get. Thank you.
