[blparent] 5th grade teacher

[Veronica Smith]

He made an appointment with me for Friday morning at 8:15.  Not that this is
too early, but it is 45 minutes before school starts so Gab and I will  have
to walk to the school quite early.  I keep telling myself, it is good for
you to get up extra early and walk a mile to the school. It is for a good
cause. V

Hi V. Give him the Parenting Without Sight book.  Sounds like this guy is
taken off guard and doesn't know what to do. Another thing you can do is
just have him call you on the phone if there are any problems if e-mail is
too much trouble.  Yes, definitely meet with him.  .  Trust me, there are
times I hate always having to be the educator too but it's a lifelong job.
Hopefully, this new teacher will be willing to listen and learn from you.
Good luck.
Leslie

So I sent our new teacher a note asking if he could email all class notes to
me because my daughter is not always the best mail man.  So he replied back
to me this morning and asked if he could meet with me.  He said that the
students are responsible for copying the info as part of their learning
experience. I read this info and pondered it.  Is he saying he doesn't want
to email the info to me?  So I replied to him and said, I would be happy to
meet with him if he would like.  I said I do want my daughter to copy all
the notes down, but I also wanted to be one step ahead of her if need be.
Am I asking too much of a well seasoned teacher.  He told Gab he has never
had a student's parent that was blind.  What does that have to do with
anything?  Someone new to educate.  I guess I will have to schedule a time
to educate him and his classroom. V
