[QUOTE="buddy, post: 503708, member: 12886"] I think I posted while you guys were posting, sorry wasn't trying to ignore anyone... yes, I called dvr and private voc rehab... he is too young... needs to be in grade 11 and he is in grade 8. I am not holding on to this school to prove a point to the principal or anything. I would grab my kid and head for the hills if Q would not flip out. But this is an EXTREMELY routine bound kid. He FLIPS when things change. I would then be stuck with him switching once to come home, then we would have to figure out what to do (he would see the kids going and coming home from school on their buses) and then if I got him into one thing just to have him in something (home school, home bound, whatever) and had to change that to what would work better etc... For HIM, it would be very very difficult. I left a district when he finished his first 3rd grade year because after fighting with the district and his switching classes/schools every single year, even our ARC advocate said, you could fight this and win but at what cost? So I sold my house and moved here after much research. That paid off until budget cuts, and Q getting on this principal's radar. They actually did say zero tolerance and both the lawyer and I said no, the revised IDEA specifically says you absolutely can consider a disability and not go by zero tolerance policies. I just read about zero tolerance on some online article again... I can't find it though... once again the research shows that there are MORE suspensions, more kids quitting school, violence is increasing and the policy is not working. You know what.. ? the two teachers that are having a better time with Q... they are the two that are hugging him again. (ignoring the sp ed coordinator). HE needs the touch and he even wants to sit on their laps...they obviously don't allow that but point is they do let him sit next to them and he can put his head on their shoulder and they dont flip out. when people say no touch at all...then he starts to poke, pat etc... Sad that the humanity in education is so taken away. He is a kid who really needs that reassurance. (they do side hugs) hope I didn't miss any questions, I will try to check more closely.. I fear I am rambling anyway... sorry. I feel sad for him, what can I say.. it is not how he wants it and not through any form of his refusing to cooperate kind of issue. He is just being Q and now it is not ok. [/QUOTE]
