[QUOTE="serenityntn, post: 203456"] I hope I put the quote part in right. To be honest I don't want him in mainstream, not all the time. I believe that he does need to have some interaction with "normal" kids so that maybe he can maybe learn better social skills. When he was in the 4th grade they had him in resource part of the day and mainstream the rest of the time. It was a total disaster. It really wasn't the other children that was the problem because for the most part they all liked him. There was even a few of them that would help him with his work. The problem was he was in a class with about 30 other students and it was too much for him. He was always disrupting the class, talking all the time, interupting the teacher, and so forth. Of course it didn't help any that it was that teacher's first year of teaching lol. She had no idea what she was in for but I had problems with that school the whole 2 years he was there. They wouldn't even let him go on field trips because in their words they didn't know if they could handle him. That school just didn't want to fool with him and I think they wanted to get rid of me also. We had an IEP one time and I went completely beserk on them. I told them I was sick and tired of only hearing bad things about my son. In the meetings they never would say anything positive about him. I was so angry that I started crying. Everyone at the meeting was looking at me like I was crazy. I hated to lose control like that but the way I look at it I was like a lioness protecting her cub. Right now he's doing pretty well at school. My hope for him is for him to be in resource most of the time for academics and maybe a little bit of the day in mainstream like arts and crafts and music which he loves. Deb [/QUOTE]
