Let’s see.. When I last posted we still hadn’t had the meeting with the lawyer and the district. Let’s say that was a whole lot of fun (not) but entertaining in other ways to say the least

That's a lawyer to make them stand up and take notice, all right. Best of luck with the school district. I am sorry you are having such trouble with them.
She is. She has actually gone to the supreme court on special ed issues, and has won. I really can't afford her, but I have to do something. It's for Jason's future.
My experience has been that elementary school teachers don’t like using email. Middle school a few tech savvy teachers will use it, and high school uses email as a communication tool fairly frequently. Yes. IME, this is less due to tech savvy (most teachers are fairly young and grew up with email) than because of the age of the students and the (average) involvement of the parents. In elementary school the parents are generally very heavily involved and there is a very real fear among teachers that if they start email conversations with the parents they will be getting email several times a day about [child's] lost socks. Phone communication generally requires more thinking out

Most of Alex's teachers have been older. When I was the legislative liaison, I tried to get a e-list going. Just a couple of people signed up. But that was several years ago. Most folk were still on *gasp* dialup! :)
I tend to be fairly involved. I'm not a helicopter parent by any means, but I need to be assured that my kids are getting what they need and if they aren't, I will try to find a way of getting their needs looked at so we can figure something out.
Then again, I've got one kid with severe social anxiety and one with significant health issues. I don't think the average parent has to worry about the things I do. YMMV on that of course.
