Beggars belief that a Teacher would be unaware of a pupil in their class with a learning disability.

I'd be mad as hell if i found out their needs weren't being met.

Hope she's doing ok.

@Picklebobble2 Thank you. She'll work hard and do her part, teachers will work with someone who is willing to work.

Wonderful mother

its always good to make a personal connection.

@Dadbod52 Thanks. I appreciate your words of support. I'm conflicted because I don't think my daughter would like that I do this. She lives with her dad so I can get away with going and her not knowing.

@Mindful it will help her in the long run im sure

You're being a good mother and doing the right thing for her, whether she can understand that yet or not.

You're being a good mom looking out for her. She doesn't need to know everything you do when having her back covered

@Gibbon Thank you for that!!!! It means a lot. Her frowns and pouts are hard to face.

Does she have an IEP for that? The plan of steps at school and home of how you will take care of that issue?
Mindful · 56-60, F
@Steve42 she has a 504. For a while in Texas Dyslexia was a 504 I don't know if that's an IEP actually

How do you know if she has dyslexia
WillaKissing · 61-69, M
It is critical that you do that. As a person who has Dyslexia, I know how that helps your child when the teacher knows too!

It's good because you will be able to put a face to the name when the complaints come in during the school year...you're on solid ground, when she's a mom, I'm sure she'll understand - and do the same for hers...

Why are school functions being held in August? Isn’t school closed until September?
Have you tried talking to her about why she doesn't want you to do this???

In my case, one of the big bug bears I had - and still don't understand the logic behind is that I am dyslexic and I loved reading, I always have. I used to read through my reading books rapidly at home - but the teachers would often make me read through the same book two or three times.

Reading wasn't my problem. I needed help with spelling. It took me ages to get out of spelling "Colours" the American way and accept that there's a "H" in "White". I still remember having to sit there, writing out the colours over and over again, with the hope that I'd magically remember that "H" if I did it enough times.

@HootyTheNightOwl I hope you can find a balance with church that makes you happy. I feel like a sinner too much, and my husbands experience is that he was constantly being asked for favors and I guess he had trouble saying no.
@Mindful I think that I'm weird in that I need a man that I trust to be able to step in and take control of my worship at times - not because he needs to prevent me from worshipping at all, but because he knows that if he doesn't, I will push myself too far in an unhealthy direction between attending Mass too frequently for my body and my eating disorder.

I never managed to get that balance right for myself by myself.

@HootyTheNightOwl May God bring you the right person for healthy support
