We met with Denise's mom yesterday and it's a good thing it was after school. I know the woman only brought her daughter to public school for special education services, but she could not have been more contemptuous of public education if we had shown up at her kitchen with a list of rules and regulations.
She insulted the teachers (we are apparently reteaching material already mastered by Denise - but she doesn't know the material). She kept trying to run the meeting and telling us whether or not we were necessary to the process.
As soon as she gets what she wants, she will be pulling her daughter from public school. (Oops, she slipped on that one. Didn't say it outright, but when she announces that Denise will be graduating next year - well, there is only one way it will happen.) So, why doesn't she just pay for the evaluation herself?
Too expensive. So she will waste all of our time jumping though the legal hopes to accommodate her child into public school - then, boom, outta here.
Her child has not gotten as good an education as I would expect. The vocabulary specific to an area (math, science) just is not there.
I’m going to beg your indulgence
