[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 193960, member: 805"] Linda, this is just my opinion not living in your shoes, but I think, with the supports (like an full-time aide) kt is better off in mainstream that day treatment. Reason - she really needs to learn how to deal in the real world (again, with the proper supports in place). If she is kept in day treatment, how will she learn to deal with all the typical **** that will come her way? If she truly wants to go to cosmo school in four years, it will be a HUGE culture shock for her to go from day treatment high to cosmo school. I think kt has come so far in the past couple years. I totally understand that you are fearful of old issues taking over her life and reverting back to the old stuff. It is a natural fear of all difficult child parents who finally begin to see the light or stability in their children - the fear that something will rock the boat and return them back to whence they came. I think the important issue here is that the school recognize that kt was taught to defend herself against sexual harrasment in a way that is vastly different from the way we teach most our kids. This is due to her history and the physical location of where she was at the molment (in an enviornment where they may have been greater potential for harrasment and therefore the need for quicker action). The school needs to understand that zero tolernance does not mean suspending the victom, it means dealing with the perp. I believe it is an incredible testiment at how far she has come and how hard she has been working/learning that she is able to handle herself, discuss it, and see consequences of her actions (whether those consequences are right or wrong). You have every right to be proud of this young lady. Sharon [/QUOTE]
