[QUOTE="DDD, post: 256946, member: 35"] Lately it seems like I have been encouraging everyone to put on the brakes before complaining about authority figures. Believe me I am not a wimp....I'm quite assertive and have to reign in aggressive on occasion BUT I don't think it is in your son's best interest to jump up the ladder and complain about the lady who will remain in charge of your sons school. Since she spoke out so inappropriately before, I can easily imagine that she could retaliate in subtle ways that could be emotionally harmful to your son. There is some old expression (:winking: obviously I should know it!) that paraphrased says keep your friends close but your enemies closer. That's my advice in this situation. You'll be seeking help and answers from others that hopefully will lead your son to the right assistance. I would stay connected at the school and, if it can be done casually, tell the Principal that you have thought about what she said the other day and you are seeking the best experts to make sure that difficult child can be the best he can be. Although you don't agree with many things that she said that you appreciate that as an educator she is trying to support the family. Something along that line so she knows you [B]don't [/B]agree with her but that you [B]are[/B] seeking top quality help so everyone will be on the same [B]"let's help difficult child do his best" [/B]page.
