Hi!
I have a question about "Reasonable Accommodations".
I had asked our principal to have a meeting with our family to discuss some issues with both teachers and staff.
I asked if we could meet with her via e-mail.
She said, "sure", then went on to say that she invited both teachers, the head of charter schools and after school care advisor.
I had written her back, saying that I didn't know the meeting "I" requested, needed to be that BIG! She then went to say that "I want us to all work as a team". I didn't know teamwork needed to be used in what I wanted to discuss with her, some personal that I didn't want or need them to hear. See, she is upset because I called the superintendant because she wasn't taking care of issues, that person told me to call, if I felt not listened to or felt things weren't being done, so I did call her. I think she is perposfully trying to make it difficult.
I am in a flair right now, and too many people will be overwhelming to me. I wrote back and stated that, "Due to my current health concerns (she know's I have M.S.), It would be overwhelming and confusing to me to have so many people in a room talking and I wouldn't comprehend everything all at once.
She wrote back saying that it shouldn't be overwhelming.
I wrote her back saying to me it would be, and explained why. I asked her for this simple acomodation and that it would help me to better help the situation, rather than throw me into a room like that. I would be useless. I also in turn, sent her a link on M.S. and told her to read about cognitive function.
What do I do if she refuses to meet with just my husband and I? She is already trying that. Don't we have that right as parents? I don't see her doing that with all the other parents. It saddens me that I have to explain myself. I shouldn't have to. Do I have any rights at all in requesting this? Anyone?
Thank you~
