[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 447134, member: 1514"] IC...have no idea if what I am going to tell you is going to be completely discouraging or not but I will tell it anyway. I know that the US is supposed to be good about the IEP's and all that but they failed my son miserably. Or maybe it was that both my son and the IEP failed each other...who knows. My son had an IEP for years but this particular year was his second try at 9th grade. In it he was supposed to have an aide attending school with him. He had been doing fairly well at least compared to past experiences but just past the start back to school after Xmas break all heck broke loose. The teacher in gym class was one of those ahole men who dont believe in mental illness and believe all kids need is a good butt whipping. He had told all the boys to sit down and there werent enough seats on the bleachers because he hadnt pulled enough out so Cory stood up at the end with his back against the wall quietly...this isnt in contest. The teacher yelled at him and then it was on. Teacher called him names...Cory called him a "cracker". I ended up with a phone call. Now...Cory's aide had quit the day before and they were trying to find him a new one and I was told Cory couldnt come back to school until he had a new one. He was expelled from school until then. I was astounded. I said, you have got to be kidding me, the coach called Cory a retard who road the short bus and all Cory did was call him a cracker...which actually wasnt bad since both of them were white! Believe me, Cory has used MUCH MUCH more colorful language in school before...lol. Well...Cory was 15 then and he never stepped inside a school again. They were supposed to send someone to the house to homeschool him but they never did. I never heard from them again. [/QUOTE]
