ROP director says he needed to be proficient in ALL areas of course, and that his communication issues would cause a problem, say at the front desk. I agree, but do not care if he learns front desk. One thing that she said was that all students be proficient at say, working the computer, then in the next breath said that one of the two instructors was not skilled in that area so she had to get a second instructor! :rolleyes: Have also seen emails from her and her spelling is atrocious.
Since ROP is funded by state/county, could complain there as well as school.

heck, he might take your case pro bono publico just for the publicity!!!

If they don't get the hint from the name drop you could contact the lawyer and ask him to write a letter. It'll cost but it may be enough to prove you're serious.

I would print out those emails from her, get an old-fashioned red carmine pencil teachers used in my day to correct papers, and use that to correct her spelling. Then show or send them to her saying something along the lines of, you can't even spell, who said you could be a teacher? Then explain to her discrimination in any form, which is what she's doing, is illegal. Be sure to tell her that illegal means against the law, it is not a sick bird. ;)

Hehe, not being able to spell correctly is not a sign of lack of intelligence, but just an example of how Everyone has imperfections. In her case though, just about everything that came out of her mouth did not make sense. Thank you all for good ideas on what to do if this doesn't pan out for kid. Will go through
"appropriate channels" first, then if not working turn up volume. I do think it is worth it to try to help other kids who might be experiencing same problems.

So many of us are going through rough times with the economy as it is, good people who are capable and need those jobs. I worry so much for everyone and what the future holds. Want my sons to be able to hold their own when I die. I'm so sorry Feline Fan that your Mom didn't give you encouragement. Please let go of all of the negative things that were said, because we know you can succeed.

She is right, you cannot move forward if you keep looking back.

You could still use the misspellings to point out that if she thinks one has to be perfect to get into the program, her talking out of both sides of her mouth and her atrocious spelling means she's not meeting her own (artificial) standards.

What really bothers me is the fact that WORK says if you quit or were laid off, you're eligible for certain programs, but if you're fired you can only be in other programs. Where's the sense in that? If you're out of a job, it shouldn't matter why or how long, you need a job, and there should be no barriers in getting the job training you need. I'm beginning to wonder if I should even bother going back there again.

Oh, I'm trying to keep the past where it belongs. The couple who were being idiots moved out last week, and left their minifridge. I wonder if there's a time limit before someone can take it? I could sure use one to keep Tripod's food cold, as well as keep my bottles of water cold, and a few things that won't fit in my shelf in the main fridge. I registered with FreeCycle, but so far I haven't found anyone with a minifridge to give me. I've been using an insulated bag and blue ice packs for Tripod's food all this time, and with this heat those packs don't last long.

I've been doing some figuring, and with luck if I get a security job, and a job as a janitor at my church, if they pay me enough, maybe I could get them to pay me through PayPal, and use that money to get driving lessons and my driver's license. Always look for a back door entrance, if they won't let you in the front door. :D:

Do, or do not. There is no try.

Plus you hit the keyword, stupid guests :D:
