Re: Issues here

In our state, all teachers are legally responsible for knowing what is in each folder regarding all of the students we pesonally teach, in order to meet the needs of special students. This prevents any legal actions against the school and teacher.
In elementary, with the number of students that you have to see in a week, it looks to me like it would be much easier for the teacher to share...than for you to have to look up the student's folder. However, if you have a problem with one particular student, you should check their folder for yourself for any information. Do you have a teacher in your school responsible for special students. These are the teachers that share with us...rather than a regular teacher.
I once had a student with epilepsy and I was not told. Can you imagine what kind of problem this would cause if the student was to have a seizure and you were not prepared.
I just had an incident, that involved a classroom teacher refusing to share student information, like the mental health condition that has been plaguing this student. It is December, I am on a short rope with this student, my next step was to issue discipline referrals. The teacher flat out refused to share what the issue was with this student, and told me to ask the parents or administration.
