[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 239251, member: 2423"] Jen, I often get better results when I approach school administrators/teachers as one part of a partnership that wants to work with them, not against them. To that end, I word letters/emails/phone calls in a direct, non-accusatory, matter-of-fact way. In your situation, I would write something like this: "difficult child came home upset this afternoon because she was told to go to another classroom by herself to do her math. From my reading of the situation, the change to a new classroom caused her a great deal of anxiety and stress. I'm wondering why she was sent to this other classroom during math time. Was this a one-time occurrence, or will this happen every day? I'd like to talk to you at your earliest convenience about this situation." I realize you have ongoing issues with this teacher -- she was absolutely wrong to try to influence you on the medication issue -- and you do deserve to know what is going on with your daughter's education. But if you look at this objectively, maybe the school is recognizing that your difficult child needs extra help and is offering it (I would think you would want to have her get extra help at school rather than pay for a private tutor). In terms of the nurse visits, can the nurse herself provide you with a log of when difficult child goes to the nurse and why? Our school nurse provided me with a log when M was required to eat snacks at school while recovering from her eating disorder. by the way, what is a CSE? [/QUOTE]
