I've just about had enough of Lachlan getting in trouble, so I approached the head of the Special Dept if she knew what was happening, and why?
Also... Lachlan got in trouble again yesterday for yelling at his teacher, which I don't agree with, but I wanted to know why he screamed at her???
It ends up, she wanted him to copy something from the blackboard, but for the life of him he wouldn't! So the head of the S-Dept was called up to settle him down.5 mins later, after she talked to him, he told her that it's to hard and thats why he couldn't do it.
Now I'm not saying the teacher deserved to be screamed at, but she knows he has a disability and he has trouble. Could she not take 5 mins outta her precious time, to just nicely explain it to him. Lachlan gets very agitated and cranky when he can't do something, if he said he couldn't do it then WHY push the issue that far, that he gets into a rage about it!!!
I know he has to learn, and being in a mainstream class, the teacher can't spend 1 on 1 time with him for very long at all, also I know he can't talk to her like that.
I just wish she would have a little more understanding of who Lachlan is!
I just got soooo upset today talking to her, I was in tears.
WHY aren't there MORE teachers trained and qualified in area's for children with disabilites and learning problems?
WHY should he get in trouble for something he can't understand? If he can't understand it.... or it's too hard.... then how can he do it?
WHY do I feel like Lachlan is being victimised/picked on???... whatever you want to call it!
I have had Lachlan, everyday this week not wanting to get outta bed. Saying he hates school and his teacher.
Am I being stupid? Over reacting to much?
I just feel so SAD!
