In my entire education degree we were constantly lectured on how every
parent regardless of reason including language, literacy skills available
needed to have and understand and fully access the materials that go home.
This is the same for you I do reccomend that if your child doesn't have a
daily folder you create 1 so you can at least keep the papers you need read.
This falls into the catagory of reasonable accomadation in the ADA. Your
child's school is a public service so you are intitled to the information. A
few things that have worked for people. Email is a big one, the Tape thing
has worked, a parent volunteer sends the email as a task that the teacher
needs done, the teacher emails or records the information weekly, the
teacher makes a quick call to your answering machine each week, You find a
parent buddy to comunicate with on the things coming home. You get a local
high school student who needs volunteer hours for NHS to read the
assignments to you and maybe get help from your child's teacher to have them
ready. emagine what life would be like before the tech we have now. Parents
and teachers made it work.
