I have been my sons advocate since first grade.i have worked with everyone of his teachers. Since being at ForestLake it's been very difficult to help my son. He has Asbergers and needs attention to detail.
The teachers are now t parent friendly treating is as the enemy. The majority of the bad grades come from missing assignments. However the parent does not. Usually know it's missing until the failing grade comes out on renweb.
Last year I had a heart attack and during the time I was in the hospital his math teacher was missing assignments and never responded to y wife's emails when she tried to contact him. This was brought to the Principals attention who did nothing.
The Math teacher was never held accountable for the failing grade he gave my son without any effort to accommodate his disability. The math teacher never responded to the email and caused my son to take a summer class.
The schoology program they had for tracks by grades was not available to me for most of the year. I asked all of his teachers to show me how to access schoology but they all said the program was new and that they could not help me.
Malichis chi has study hall where he was supposed to get help with his classes. The school said that I could not be allowed to tutor my son as they discontinued helping him because they said he was not prepared.
I explained to them that I could help him but they refused to let me assist him during study hall. One of his teacher is stating that there are not retakes on tests and refused to let my son retake a test that she gave poor instructions on how to complete it.
Missing assignments are a big portion of failing grades especially for African American males. The sad thing is most of the teachers don't realize it's missing before it posts to renweb. I tried to make the Principal aware but he continues to send me back to the teacher.
Don't send your child to Forest lake if he has a disability. They talk a great is game but they intend to fail him m I f they can't fit him on n with the others. Pray for me and son that we may feel nosh this high school Journey. read more
