Why would a parent not tell the teacher? I'd think that would be pretty important for a teacher to know. She has to keep an eye on him, make sure he's picking everything up, and look for signs that he might be falling behind due to missing things. It would be a disservice to not notify a teacher about something that can have such a huge impact on learning.Anonymous 5 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 8:55 am So he hates attention so you made sure to get ahold of the teacher so he could gets lots of extra attention. I'll say an extra prayer for this teacher, she's not going to have a good year.

The IEP would have been given to the teacher as soon as her Olji's kid was placed in her classroom so she can not break.federal law.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:03 amThey would have had to note it first so that the teacher knew to email them in the first place, no?QuantumNursing wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 4:44 pmTo be fair since you cant read the teacher emaile Oli. Oli didnt email her. Its the first sentence in the second paragraph....Anonymous 5 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 8:53 am
To be fair the mother highlighted it first when she emailed the teacher.

If you have no frame of reference with the hard of hearing, you'd probably not realize that. I can see where someone might not know limitations without having first hand experience. We all can't know everything.Anonymous 9 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:20 amPeople are really this ignorant?

Sounds to me like op told the teacher because it's the reason for the IEP (hearing disability) and the teacher is running with it.

I don't find it that unusual that some people might assume an IEP is not needed. I have 2 children with permanent limitation of peripheral vision. One child does not have it mentioned in an IEP. It's something, that I am confident he can navigate around this "limitation" himself.Anonymous 9 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 10:20 amPeople are really this ignorant?

So I understand both sides, you very well might need an IEP, but not always.

She isn't making him a spectacle at all. She was simply trying to educate the kids about it so they were able to understand why. They did the same with my son as he is legally blind in his right eye. They explained what the patch that he has to wear did and why he has to wear one. They are trying to make it so it isn't odd or different. Kids are curious and they are trying to answer questions they may have or clear up an misconceptions that may occur.QuantumNursing wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 9:09 amThe kid has an IEP the teacher needed to be aware of it.

Not every person ior child is comfortable with standing up and talking about their disabilities. Ishe can do all of that without singling out one of the students. That type of behavior can and will cause bullying.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 6:03 pmShe isn't making him a spectacle at all.

I know they did this when my son wasn't in the classroom. My son is the same as hers and hates talking about it. Hence why the teacher did this to try and eliminate some of those questions she knew would occur. They also knew how he hated discussing it so hence why they did it when he was out of the classroom and I suggested to OP that they maybe try this approach. The teacher has the best intentions at heart.QuantumNursing wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 6:34 pmNot every person ior child is comfortable with standing up and talking about their disabilities.
