[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 327732, member: 3444"] That's too bad it turned out that way, but what frosts me is these teachers who KNOW a kid has issues, yet they take EVERYTHING like it's a deliberate, premediated slight against them personally!!! What does a demerit teach your difficult child? Uh, probably not a whole lot. What he needs to learn is how to approach strangers and advocate for himself. I think it would have been better to have someone take him back to the cafeteria under similar circumstances and supervise him while he reattempts to make contact with one of the adults in the kitchen to get something he needs. And maybe repay out of his own money whomever provided for the salad that he never ate. These kids don't do this stuff on purpose to tick people off. They do it because they don't understand WHY they need to do it the way they're instructed, and they DON'T have the ability to predict the consequences of their actions. That comes from lots of experience and practice (like role playing). And even then, there's no guarantee they'll ever truly "get" it, but at least they'll be well-trained! Okay off my soapbox...
