[QUOTE="buddy, post: 568645, member: 12886"] Very insightful actually Suz. I feel the same way. I think it will never be the same for me where I felt I really had a team where we worked together and I could trust most of the people. It feels like I now have to always make choices between the lesser of evils and hold my breath that they will keep themselves in check. I think the one who is least educated and has made some innocent mistakes has been the most open to change and his heart is in the right place. Thats the aide assigned to q. They've developed a special high five hand shake that q asks me to do now....it ends in a hand hold of sorts and I think it comforts him. I think his teacher is simply over his head and if he doesn't give up could learn alot and be really good. But I truly feel he twists stories and struggles with communication. I've never had to pull information out of a teacher so He is still resisting my having a normal teacher conference where I get to go see quins actual work. I've not seen one single piece of school work. He is there for school afterall. I'm told he is doing great creative art work. Is expanding his writing in a journal, is starting geometry types of math and is really getting it, loves politics and history in social studies classes. I've not seen one single thing. So I have always asked for teacher conferences separate from iep meetings which discuss specific iep goals and behaviors usually. I ask we not discuss any of that, but just "normal" parent style things. With all of his issues the purpose of attending school gets lost in the shuffle. If he's doing so well why not meet?
