Chapter Ten
The next morning Dale, the principal, caught me as I walked through the front door.
“Carrie, may I speak with you, please?”
I groaned inwardly as I followed him into his office. He closed the door behind us and offered me a seat. Which of the parents was complaining this time?
“I wanted to let you know that we got the preliminary test results back on your students’ test scores.”
My breath caught in my throat, just as it had every year this conversation came up. Many times, the results of these tests reflected how the students did on the state tests in March and April.
“Overall, your students did well,” he said.
I was surprised. Dale had never called me into his office to discuss when test results were good. There had to be something else he wanted to say.
“Well, I’m glad to hear that. We’ve worked hard so far this year.”
“That’s actually the reason I wanted to talk to you. Chris Bakersfield’s mother was here after school yesterday.”
I closed my eyes. He called me into his office to talk about Mrs. Bakersfield but started off with testing results? It made absolutely no sense to me. And what could that woman want to complain about now?
Dale must have felt my tension because he said, “She’s just concerned about the pressure you’ve put on him about his reading. Apparently he’s been going on saying that you have mentioned him possibly having dyslexia.”
I groaned. Damn. He was not supposed to know I thought that. “Dale, I believe that it might be the case, but his mother refuses to even broach the subject. I’ve been using dyslexia strategies to help him with his reading, but they are strategies that could work with any number of disabilities and reading problems. I have never once mentioned to him that I thought he has dyslexia or that he might have a learning disability. All I’ve done is encourage him. I did mention it to her at conferences, though.”
“Well, be that as it may, she is going to the board of education to lodge a complaint about you and to get him removed from your classroom.”
My heart fell. All the weeks of building our relationship were going to be pulled out from under us. Then a rage bubbled over in me, stronger than I had ever felt before. “How can she do that?” I said, my voice raised. “I’ve worked so hard to work with him. He’s enjoying reading group now. I’ve seen so much progress in him over the past few weeks, more than I would have expected in such a short time.” My eyes narrowed. “What is going to be her ammunition at the board meeting?”
“Apparently all she has is Chris stating that you think he has dyslexia.”
I pursed my lips. I would get to the bottom of this. “Thank you for giving me the heads-up,” I said as I stood. “I have to go get ready for the day.”
I stomped down the hall, and I had to look a sight because more than one teacher moved out of my way.
