[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 261539, member: 1991"] In some ways I envy you guys the "let's have him attend for only half days" drill. That is what I wanted, to transition difficult child 3 back to mainstream from being home all the time and throwing up at the mere thought of being at school. But I was told that it simply couldn't be done. At that time, the school was five minutes' walk from where we live. Then when it was time to transition him to high school, the principal said to me (in front of the Special Education staff) "Why don't we transition him half-time?" I remplied, "I have been told repeatedly that no such option exists," and we then heard a quiet coughfrom the Special Education person, "Well actually... we COULD do it, it's a good idea." I ripped her a new one. Told her that to consider it Now< when the school was an hour's DRIVE from where we lived, was totally impractical and setting up EVERYBODY for failure, and what the H had they been playing at all those years? OK, I'm just venting here. Shari, I think your attending is a good idea. Also, keep that principal on his toes. You can do it politely, but keep challenging him and making him SAY what he is obviously thinking. Marg [/QUOTE]
