I've reached my limit. His teacher gave out this assignment to do this animal project. Some of it was supposed to be done in school and some at home. I took it upon myself to work with my son on it this weekend. Reason being, I hold no confidence in his teachers to help him. We completed the project and I let his teacher know. My son told me what to write and I typed it (he is allowed a scribe).
Yesterday when I picked up my son, he told me his teacher pulled him out into the hallway to speak with him. She asked why he finished it at home and he said he forgot he was supposed to work on it in school, too. Her response..."oh really? I don't believe you." She had the nerve to tell him she wants it done again in school, when the report we worked on his perfectly fine and acceptable.
So I emailed her this...
Ms. Friedman,
Noah explained to me that you and he had a conversation about his report. He said he told you that he forgot the animal report was something that was supposed to be worked on during class, and that your response was "really? I don't believe you." He also said that you requested he do the report again with Ms. Schaeffer. I made it a point to work on this project with Noah at home, because I do not feel confident that he is getting all the help he needs in school. Now if the goal is to have Noah copy what was typed, that is not necessary. He and I brainstormed this project, researched it and completed it together. I typed it for him, so he could concentrate on what he wanted me to write. After all, Noah is allowed a scribe as part of his IEP.
Frankly I am getting tired of all this. Noah is miserable in your class and doesn't feel like you understand him at all. I have instructed Noah NOT to do this report again. The report I emailed you has all of the information that was requested, and it was neatly typed. There is absolutely no need for Noah to do twice the work, when his initial report was absolutely acceptable. Now if Ms. Schaeffer wants to work with him on the poster, that is fine. We printed out a large picture of his animal, along with the animal name in the title. I explained to Noah that he could take information off of his typed report, to fill in the poster with the required information.
In addition, this homework folder system is not working out for me. I still cannot tell what you have looked at. Completed assignments that we put in, seem to linger in his folder. Please check in Noah's folder daily and remove assignments from the night before. Please only return them to his folder once you have visibly graded it. Any assignments that are left in his folder not marked, will be thrown away. There is too much clutter and Noah needs as much help as he can with organization. I will see you on Wednesday.

I am meeting with the staff again tomorrow for another IEP and am going to raise hell. Wish me luck.
