[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 386311, member: 1991"] It is refreshing, but still frustrating, when your difficult child shows more sense and maturity than the ADULT in the situation. All I can suggest is what worked for us (well it worked as well as anything could) which is to continue to kowtow to the teacher while getting your point across. "Thank you for showing sufficient foresight with difficult child to ask how to assist him even before you had him in your class. I am very happy to continue to assist you in this, since I know it can be challenging to teach a child whose brain is wired differently. difficult child is generally very compliant but needs to be asked why, if he fails to comply. There are always reasons and these need to be worked with in order to use his capabilities to get the outcome you want. He cannot be managed with 'because I said so' methods, as if it comes down to a battle of wills, he will be stronger. However, his strength of will can be used as an asset, if you succeed in engaging his support and cooperation using the methods already spelled out in the paperwork. Again, thank you for caring enough to be prepared to adapt your methods to support a special needs student." Marg [/QUOTE]
