Thanks Holly B. Currently it's the privacy issue and his IEP, which has to do with hand writing ability, so my son is not required to write the questions and answers, but the other students are. they want to know why, he has only to write the answers and after dealing with so much for so long, I guess my son has had it, he feels and is correct in that his IEP is private and the other students do not need to know information related to his IEP, yet the teacher said, "if any had ?, to see her after class." that did not sit well with my son and he expressed how violating it was. It always gets to this because they cannot seem to understand that once you have been violated repeatedly, it becomes a survival instinct when you see it happening again and again. It's so difficult to get the educators to understand. As usual they feel backed to the wall when the child is simply defending and protecting his rights. Now 13, my son was dx'd at 7 and been stripped of his childhood because of the ignorance that exists in our schools. Exposure is key and I guess I have a real hard time understanding why organizations such as the JDRF and ADA, who have the ability to get it out there, just don't. Thanks for allowing me to vent but I fear another school switch on the horizon. Please pray that my son may finish this school year, as he has finally formed friendships and is having a great time just being a teenager.
