Open house yell a thon!

Unbelievable what happened at open house tonight. A parent had it out with the teacher. Ooh. Apparently many parents are unhappy with this teacher. He's got a closed door policy going. This parent had it out for close to an hour! I sat at my dependent's table partly giggling to myself and partly shaking my head.  This parent chose open house to go off on the teacher. For close to an hour as well. 

It seems many parents are complaining about the teacher. My complaint is no access after school. Others are complaining that he's cursing in class. My dependent said the bad word used was "shut up". D said the curse words I asked for were never mentioned. My relation asked as well. Does the teacher use words we tell D never to repeat. D said no. 
The word "crap" was used in explaining probability. Crap is a game of chance in Las Vegas. And those two went round and round. 
29 more days to go. I went and spoke to the teachers for next year. I already have an idea of who I want for D's teacher. This person emails and sends YouTube links for tutoring ideas. Yay! As close to Ms C as we can get.

The principal is leaving

Just heard through the grapevine the principal will leave the establishment at the end of term. My relation was so happy to hear it. Kicked up a fuss and stood on a soap box for 10 minutes. This past week was principal day.

IEP Meeting

Yesterday I had an iep meeting with the officials at the establishment. My dependent does not qualify for an iep or special education. My dependent is above average in reading and spelling and average for math. 20% lower and D would've qualified for remediation in math. So D is going to tutoring for math. 

Oops. It coincides with karate. We already paid for karate. Tutoring after school followed immediately by karate. One day only. The other day no karate.  

Today I had to take 1.0mg Xanax for this meeting. Took a 20mg Lexapro as well.

New teacher: I'm not impressed

I'm not impressed with the new teacher. Although C has a lot to deal with from the M's term C has yet to pull ahead of the chaos. My dependent is moving ahead in math, finally.  However, C gives D the wrong times table. This past week D should've gotten six. She was tested on seven. The grade sheet doesn't even post D passing five yet. See. Chaos.
 I didn't realize it at the time but the paper with all the red marks belongs to my dependent. Two students came up and told me by showing me the paper.  

Sent a nice impartial email to the teacher. Awaiting C's reply. 2:24pm. Btw C always closes and locks the doors after class. Never stays long enough to speak to anyone. D was progressing nicely. Now I wonder. 

Tomorrow we have a meeting with the psych regarding the evaluation done. Actually that evaluation was simply we parents filling in the answers. Then they run it through a machine. After session ends! Guess who takes D home and guess who has the meeting!
