[QUOTE="buddy, post: 466031, member: 12886"] I love these questions! Yet, I can see the teacher getting a little defensive and though she maybe should be put on the spot, in the end it is the child who suffers if we can't keep everyone in the team problem-solving mode. Not that she doesn't deserve to be put on the spot a little, but then again, remember she had NO background about difficult child. To me that would have been all the more reason to approach a parent with a meeting and asking if they have ever had concerns and then to just list the issues that have been observed. Trying to gather all info and work as a team.... It doesn't seem this teacher has that kind of philosophy at least at this point. So, just MHO until you know there will be not a lot of cooperation (you are so early in this with them) I would do my best to just act as if you assume they are on page with you and that you just KNOW they are going to do the right thing for your difficult child. Not to be insincere with them, but I usually approach people assuming that a little info and education, along with knowing I am a supportive parent, they will be on board and help as much as possible. Puts me in the driver seat a little more. We all know of course that not every school person has that kind of desire to help and work with you, and at some point you may need to be a little more direct, but for now????? [/QUOTE]
