And another note, one that made me nearly scream right on the train.

Apparently it is "very important" that Evangeline does all her homework, especially as she hadn't done her homework last night.

I don't quite agree on the importance of doing homework, but that's all beside the point because she had done the worksheet that was went some, as well as the next page in her math book. I know, because I had supervised her doing it and then carefully glued these pages into her notebook this morning. I had even written a quick note on the homework - plainly visible to anybody checking it! - stating that we had not received the normal list of weekly assignments (and I had checked pretty darn thoroughly at the library!), only that one worksheet, and so she could not do her spelling words but we'd make it up as soon as we had the list.

The teacher had to flip past the page with the homework to write her little note on the very next page. In red sharpie. Those pages are still there, of course - they hadn't loosened or fallen out or anything.

I don't even know what to say to this, but I'm sure whatever I would say would end up being something I'd ultimately regret. So glad Jenn is the one writing the note in response to this one!

In other news, Ana got 100 on her last math test. Go Ana! W00t! Yeah! She and I cooked up a little drama where I pretended her grades were shameful and she pretended she didn't want her mom to see when she signed it.

I'd start the note with "Turn this page over to read the note on the page preceding."

But, yeah, I'm snarky!

Mine wouldn't be a note. It would be a phone call, asking if the teacher is stupid as well as incompetent.

I'm mean like that.

In fairness, last week was a disorganized mess. I was constantly coming home and finding crucial parts of her homework were strewn on the table instead of neatly where they belonged.

So I can appreciate how, after inadvertently skipping a page, she might have jumped to a conclusion rather than thinking SHE had made the error.

I simply wonder why she's blind.

Oh, man....

Seconded.

I think you'd really enjoy reading the chapter nickykaa contributed to the book, Scholars with Autism.

Thanks :) Is it relevant, or was this just the top post?

[old-cutter-john.livejournal.com]

It's relevant. Excerpts from the history of how things went between school authorities and a rebellious autistic boy when the boy's father refused to be the schools' gorilla.

I should read it! I'll put it on my list of "Things I need to read".
