I�went to two�CSE meetings today.� It was so interesting to see how the�mother�interacted with the�high school�faculty.� (the afternoon CSE�meetings weapos;re for the high school kids)� They began each meeting by going around in a circle and introducing themselves.� One of the meetings was about a child who had a disability in math.� They have the accommodation to leave the room when taking tests and to get double the amount of time on the exam.� Also he has any test read to him.� However he wasnapos;t using this tool that the school provided.� His mother explained that as a 15 year hold he felt embarrassed to leave the room and take the exam somewhere else.� He doesnt want his friends making fun of him.� So therefore he wasnapos;t getting the accommodations and was doing poorly.� I�thought it was so interesting because I�remember when I�was in high school never�really noticing the�kids that got to leave the room when taking tests.� I�was always concerned with the test that I�was about to take.� I�never thought how that kid must feel having to leave.� The CSE committee decided that he best solution for this problem was to maybe have all teachers give the exams to the resource rooms.� This way the child doesnapos;t even have to go into the classroom on a test day.� They just go straight to the resource room and donapos;t have to get up in front of their class and walk down that way anyway.� It would prevent the child from being embarassed.� I thought it was a pretty good idea.�
The other meeting that I�went to was more unorganized.� The mother didnt show up and one of the teachers was late.�
Mrs. Pomeroy and I�decided that I�would either do my project on eating disorders or on the lowered drinking age.� She said that she didnt care if it was in a power point or if it was in a paper format.� I guess weapos;ll discuss it more next week.
