New And Revised And Even Better Consent Form
Dear (Parent),
We want to do a case study evaluation on your child because he/she is having B-I-G trouble
at school. He/She can't (check all that apply)
_ read
_ write
_ do math
_ go potty alone
_ play without biting someone (often a child, occasionally a teacher)
_ all of the above
We want to find out why your child is such a mess. We suspect that it may be your
fault, but need to know for sure. A whole bunch of professional people are going to
spend hours and hours and hours with you and your child, pulling him/her out of class
frequently so they can get even further behind with their work, pulling you out of your
job so you can get even further behind with your work, and generally disrupting your
schedule and your life.
Eventually, we will get done. Don't ask us when, because we don't really know.
Honestly, we are doing the very best we can with a small, frustrated staff who have
no office space in the schools and who, therefore, must test your child in the janitor's
broom closet or in the parking lot. If you fuss at us about how long it takes, we
may cry.
When we do get done, we'll meet with you at school at a mutually inconvenient time.
There will be 172 sheets of paper on the table, and we will pass it around, and around,
and around, and you will get to sign it again, and again, and again. You might get
dizzy. If yours is the last meeting of the day, the staff will definitely be
dizzy. We'll make an attempt to explain everything to you at the meeting.
Don't worry if you don't understand all the big words; we don't understand them either,
but they sure look impressive on the forms, don't they?
At the end of all this, we'll all understand why your child is in B-I-G trouble at school
and we'll have some new and exciting ideas for you and the teachers to try out. And,
we'll all live happily ever after (until time for the re-evaluation, when the entire
process starts again.)
