Parent Teacher Meetings.......  

i don't recall my mother really going to any, but I know we went to the school alot (book fairs, programs, etc...) I done fairly good at school, most of the meetings was due to the friends I hung out with.....older now and like should have known better...right....
I wasn't good at math either, took an extra year in college because of my math...darnit....

we have a website we can go on now also and check everything on our kids, but i like to go to face to face. I was looking at my sons school calendar and didn't see any parent-teacher conferences. I know since school just started, I will give it alittle longer, then I will request a day to meet with his teacher....I always like to know what is going on his class and with him.....

Read it as,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,meet the staff,,,,,sorry

yes, i always like to meet my sons teacher, principal and all. i like to know who he is going to be around and how well he is taken care of and taught.

Most of them that have be behavioral problems, are the ones where the parents are never around!! I know that from experience with my sister in law and her kids. Her son is the worst and they don't do anything with them or half the time for them.
Our school used to have some 1/2 days, which I really never cared for anyway, why waste the kids time, the schools money for paying the teachers, paying the bus drivers, and using gas for the 1/2 day. Well, when I was looking at his school calendar there were no parent teacher conferences listed, I know we have the school website, we are allowed to call and go to the classroom (but if i go, then my son will want to come with me when i leave) and we write in the journal that goes back and forth to the school.
At this time, I am having his therapist go to the school a day each week for awhile to watch him in class, see how he acts in class and enteracts, etc.. then she will meet with me if she has any concerns and we will still have a meeting together and if need be all three of us will meet.
I sometimes wonder about a private school, but I have no funds for that and with his anger, behavior i don't know if a private school will work for him. He needs the socialization yet, he also likes one on one interaction with schoolwork.

Your child, like others with ADHD, probably qualifies as disabled and that gives you a lot of options. The gov't will pay for a private school, or should because there's lots of children with ADHD going to private schools because they need more intensive instruction. They interact, it's like a normal school but with a higher teacher/student ratio. Why don't you look into it? Or a charter school? I don't mind my tax dollars paying for something like this, it's an investment in our future!

I hope everything turns out alright!
