It is good that you have some support when it comes to S being sick. It is a sickness or is it teething? I was just wondering because I know S started getting his molars a little after 1.

With the child, it is so important that you do document everything, which I am sure that you do. Also are you a part of your teacher union? Is there something they could do? This child honestly needs help because otherwise he is going to be "left behind", which is what we are trying to avoid as teachers and as a country. How can the school system not give you any support when he needs the help. Giving him breaks is not going to help him academically. Is he getting any support for the english aspect? I would think he would get some direct support for that as well.

Sorry things are going so poorly. Hopefully you can work with the mom at some point and others in the school will help. I know it is a little sneaky, but at least in IN, if a parent asks for the IEP review, it has to be given...put a bug in the mom's ear?
