Joseph’s parent teacher conference was this morning. Actually, it was this afternoon, but I changed it. I really didn’t want to cross the picket lines at lunch to get out there. I arrive in the morning before the picketers do, and then they leave before I do – I’m trying to get through this without crossing their lines if I can.
Anyway, back to Joseph. He’s doing great. Absolutely great. There haven’t been any major episodes or tantrums. The things he’s having trouble with in math are concepts everyone is having problems with at this point in 2nd grade. Some of you may remember his previous antics.
So – the IEP and therapy are working. Well. I should say, the IEP and therapy are working because of the constant communication between me, his teacher, his special ed teacher, and his therapist. It’s really working.
To be able to go to the first parent/teacher conference of the year – having NOT been called that year yet for discipline issues – and have them show me tests where he got a 90%??? The sense of relief is huge. Just huge. Finally – I feel like the hard work of advocacy is worth it. My son is showing progress. Real progress.
We may actually survive this thing.
There’s also a new entry up – interview with Attila the Mom.
