I’ve actually had more problems with bad administrators than teachers.
Our school district office is full of chumps, and I loathe the principals at my daughters’ old school and my son’s school.
I think a good principal would have handled the situation with my son differently.
The teachers at my daughters’ old school were actually fighting for her. In fact, she quit after last year. She was a really special lady. The school psychologist and the special education director were really horrible. They had never even met my daughter, and they would not budge about anything. The school psychologist was a real B****. The neuropsychologist that tested my daughter said it was the worst IEP she had ever been in. She couldn’t believe that they weren’t trying to help my daughter.
I’m sorry you both had to go through that ordeal. :*( I’ve had some similar fights as well that weren’t successful. Glad you finally got things right and things are working out much better for her!
