[blparent] 5th grade teacher

[Veronica Smith]

I personally think he has a problem with it because I am blind.  Hopefully I
am barking up the wrong tree, but I've asked the same thing of all the new
teachers and they all have sent all class notes without reservation.  I'm
not asking for the answers to math problems or any assignments. I'll let you
know what happens Friday morning.  Why couldn't it have been a time when I
had a ride or when my husband was in town. v

Just to offer another perspective, at least consider that his response
wasn't because of your disability. There's nothing about you're request (as
I understand it) that's because of it. He could have just as easily gotten
that request from a sighted parent. So maybe he's concerned about why you
think you're not getting all the notes or something.
