Entry for January 26, 2007
I wrote to the school and finally arranged for an IEP meeting. I want to amend the IEP to include a limit on the number of hours Nathan is expected to do homework. The meeting will be next Wednesday. (Geez, that's going to be a busy day! A tailgate party at work, then the IEP meeting, then another eye exam! Yikes!)
I also had a nice chat with Nathan's teacher. She said if she had known about all the homework Nathan was doing, she would have gone through all of the papers and told us what we could skip. (She sent it home to us, almost all in one batch, so I'm not sure why she wouldn't know. Let alone dh tried to talk to her about it and she told him "and it will just get worse...")
Anyway, she was really nice about it, and said she had no idea how much this was stressing Nathan out. She told me not to worry about any of the remaining homework except the coyote report. YAY! So now Nathan is all caught up, and no piles of homework looming before us. Next week I'll have limits in place, too. Things are looking much sunnier around here now.
The teacher even called to leave a message on our voicemail, to say that Nathan was doing much better in school now! It seems like lifting the pressure has made quite a difference. Oh, and he brought home a good report card! All E's and S's (like A's and B's). Woohoo!
