Absolutely not. You are right. You tell the teacher there is no need to
discuss the matter. All discussions are closed joli needs her cane period
end of discussion. If she persists, then call the principal

Subject: [blindkid] School cane O/M issues

Hi all. Thanks for the advice.  
I wrote another note in Joli’s agenda book saying that Joli must take her
cane with her to all of her classes and that all of her teachers need to be
aware of this.  Her main classroom teacher sent a note back saying that she
would discuss it with her O/M teacher.  This makes me mad because I don’t
care if the O/M teacher thinks she should have it or not. I think she should
have it.  I don’t want the classroom teacher to defer to the O/M teacher on
whether or not my child should have her cane with her.  Am I overstepping my
bounds to say “I am her mother, and if I say I say she must take her cane
with her everywhere she goes, then she must take it regardless of how the
O/M teacher feels about it.”? 
Thanks, 
Lauren Wibbe
