My Aspie
Originally uploaded by jenkgroverGrowing up I never dreaded PT conference. I guess because I had nothing to fear. For most of my life I was a straight A student and always the teachers pet.
I think my lack of nerves has been more than made up for in that area now.
I dread parent teacher conference. I want to go and hear how fabulous my children are doing... not what modifications need to be made to and IEP or how my child is constantly searching for dried glue on all chairs and desks during class time.
Lucky me... today was parent teacher conference.
Isaac of course, being the adorable child that he is, fits right into the teachers pet category with ease. He is doing fabulous in everything and only lacks a bit on his ability to have legible writing (point out a first grader you know that has mastered this).
Seth, on the other hand, has been stuck with a mean, crochity, old women as a math teacher. Please don't misunderstand me. I have deep respect for teachers... but this certain teacher has been teaching since I went to school there~ and yes, she was crochity then!
Her goal has been to move Seth down to the lower level math class since the first few days of school. When I refused she begrudgingly kept Seth in class~ only to complain about him every time I would stop to check on his progress.
But Seth proved her wrong~ I was so delighted!! He got a B in the class. He is hanging right in there with the rest of the class. No~ they will NOT be moving my son to the lower level class... because that is not where he needs to be! Better yet- he scored advanced in his math testing!!!
WAY TO GO SETH AND ISAAC!! You both made parent teacher conferences extremely pleasant!!!
(Seth says I have to have three exclamations... because he likes odd numbers!!!) :)
