Well aware that is a title notrmally used in relationships () posts, but want / would politely request some feedback please on this before I decide what to do.
Picked Sam up today for the first time this week, as have nbeen on a mentoring course. Got pulled over- always me, you note, not Dh who argues so much more effectively. Conversations:
T= teacher, M= Me
T: do you do any work at home with Sam?
M: yes, some. (as she well knows, we do BIBIC and lots more)
T: what are you doing? is he still refusing?
M: yes sometimes, its as much as I can do half the time to drag him out of bed. he does write and draw, but won't allow me to see to give feedback
T: well he's not understanding how to form letters yet or spcaes, and I haven't got time to teach him
?????????????
Now unless I am insane (possibly) either she can cope with him, or he needs support. They quite happily tell every professional that he's doing well, then I get this.
We've agreed we will do a diary of what I do with him, which she will check every friday. That's fine, but she only counts wrioting work: Sam's needs are so much more complex (as she knows, BIBIC went in to discuss his needs with them) so I'll often do social stuff, or non- written learning activities (museums, bike riding etc).
I'm not entirely comfy with being checked on, and I do think well, she is paid to teach him, and whilst I fully acknowledge my part in the deal (the mentoring course is a uni- schools one fgs), saying she doesn't have time?
genuine feedback please, I won't be one of the ones who gets angry and defensive!

Ok, am I over reacting?
