Gabe had his annual IEP meeting today. It went ok, I don't feel like his teacher really cares about the kids that she has in the room. We are told by one of the class helpers (she has transferred rooms with Gabe for 2yrs) that Gabe was having issues in the room, that he spends lots of time in the calm down box. Yet his main teacher tells us its all gum drops and sunshine! I am not sure how to handle this. I feel like anything I say to her she just ignores.
This is the same main teacher that swore to us that the sub that harmed my son would never be in his room and then turned around and had the women in her room less then a month later! I don't get it. His teacher tells us that he can count, we have NEVER seen him count past 4. I have bribed this, helped him and it didn't work.
So what are we planning to do about this you ask? (or don't I don't care I am telling ya!) we are going to be going to class with Gabe more often and showing up at random times. Talking to the teachers aide that we believe, and sending him at random with a tape recorder in his backpack.
I get that my son is doing very well, I also get that it took alot of work to get him to where he is now, and if they just stop all of that he will regress again. I know that I cannot protect him from the whole world, but how are you supposed to protect your kid from someone that is supposed to be there protecting kids too?
At this point I feel like I am at the end of my rope, when I try to voice how I feel or what I think would be best for him I get the run around from the school. Yet in the same breathe that they tell me that they do not think I am right they tell me that I would know him best and what he needs.
I want my son to have a teacher that loves the kids, and loves the job and is not there for a simple paycheck. I know this sounds mean, but I feel like I am not being heard and it hurts.
