[QUOTE="Shari, post: 360923, member: 1848"] Thanks for you input. You are much where I am. *** County case worker thinks goal 5 is the magic goal. She thinks, based on the wording that is straight out of text, and is also the enrollment data used by the alternative school, that they are doing this to gather data to support a change in placement involving the alternative school in the next district. If so, I'm fine with that. In fact, exMIL asked if this meeting was about data collection or educating a child, and they actually said data collection. *** But 2 months ago, they wanted to cut him down to two hours a day as a solution, so I am sorry, but I'm not about to trust them. *** They want him back in mainstream because he's doing well and he's bored. I can go for some of it. In fact, as long as he's "on", like he is now, I think he can do the schedule they've proposed. I think he could do it now. Its when he's off that I'm concerned about. She wants all the varied people and switches because she thinks it will keep him stimulated and he's going to have to learn to deal with others. She thinks he will be on task more when its shaken up a little. *** If he fails, they will pull things back in to more restrictive (they didn't indicate where - which tells me they aren't thinking about back in her classroom...) They claim they will not cut hours (again, I don't believe it). They claim they are looking at altering environment and not duration. *** It wasn't the worst meeting I've been to, but it had its moments. The principal told me there's no data to support his "cycle". She told me that maybe this is the year he won't have a problem in November. And she told me that maybe I just need to buck up and trust them to know what's best for my kid (to which I threw my head back and outright laughed and told her to forgive me, but I've trusted others for 5 years now, and THIS is where its gotten me).
