Day was going ok till School called....A my 8yr old decided he wasn't doing his school work and took off outside. Principal called me "A, left the classroom and I'm just not chasing him." When I got to the school I found him outside on the swings. Called him over talked to him (by the way did this in the parking lot, behind my vehicle - out of view of the outside supervisor and no one stopped me or ? who I was or even if A knew me)
Anyhoo read my son the riot act about what his job is at school and then proceeded into the school, where his teacher, EA and one other Assistant told me that none of them where going to chase him. I told them I was staying in the classroom, A was not impressed but he did his work. I saw a few things with his teacher that I found quite disappointing....there was no control at all in that room, students leaving the room without permission, talking, goofing off and general disorganization on the teachers behalf. He wasn't sure from one minute to the next what he was going to do, they covered one math ? then jumped to Social Studies, A was supposed to be writing down the math to take to the EA's room, which didn't happen as the teacher changed his mind, He told A that he was to forget the Math and do the SS. Even the EA didn't know what was going on when she was in the room. So my opinion is how is my 8yr old ADHD-I son supposed to stay focused and know what is going on when the adults have no clue & with such a busy unorganised mess of a classroom. I called and left a message with the Principal to meet ASAP to discuss this. I am not surprised that my son is having issues in class, this new teacher is Totally Lost.
Anyhoo night all, hope to have a better day tomorrow.
