Alana Persuasive Speech
Good Morning,
That would be great to have a few copies of the cheat sheets and I also made her some at home. Yes, I am just as shocked by this all as well and have never heard a complaint from any of the ECP teachers in regard to Alana having a bad attitude or behavioral issues, in fact I hear quite the opposite; I believe we are missing something. I think it would be very beneficial to have you there this way Mrs. G truly understands the struggles Alana has overcome and is still overcoming. I am hoping this will give her an insight and understanding to better help Alana.
I do agree Alana does need to advocate for herself, but she did say Mrs. G scares her and after hearing her complain each day for over a week it was time I take control
of the situation. I think it's a lot more challenging for her to express her concern with this particular individual because of how condescending and demoralizing her behavior comes across. I don't even get a hello or good morning from her and I think that is common courtesy and respect as I am a customer (my own observations tells me enough). After Alana sat with Mrs. G and tried to express her feelings (she completely broke down to her) I understand why Alana was so fearful of telling her how she felt. Mrs. G clearly has a I don't care attitude and sounds unwilling to understand a 10 year old child's point of view. I think some individuals are just in it for a paycheck and in my honest opinion I feel Mrs. G is in that category. However, I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt by having this meeting. I will be watching her behavior and expressions during our conversion which will give me enough information to fully gage her true character, I only hope she proves me wrong.
I greatly appreciate your willingness to be there with me during our meeting I do feel you are an important person in Alana's life and someone who also understands her learning curve which it crutial hearing it from someone other than a parent.
