[NOBE-L] Student teaching and guide dogs

[shelbi felter]

Hi all,
I am a student in my final semester, completing my multiple subject, teaching credential in California. I have been fighting my school for months now about my student teaching placement. They have taken a very long time to find me a teacher, and when they did, I only spent three days in that classroom and then the teacher. Claimed that they developed a allergy to my guide dog. This was the first time they brought this up to me, but stated they have tried allergy medicine that made them drowsy. They also had decided previously to pet my dog. A quick call to HR and I now once again no longer have a classroom placement for student teaching.

I am very frustrated as all of these things have happened and any advice would be much appreciated.T
