[QUOTE="Shari, post: 212178, member: 1848"] Thank you all for the support this past week. Not been the best. Marg - I appreciate your experience, they help me keep the goal in perspective as it is easy to fall into the trap. difficult child was not slapped; someone had asked in another thread how hard he slapped the teacher and where, I was answering their question. The reason "optimistic" is acceptable to me is that we have tried 2 different plans so far to keep this teacher away from difficult child, and we didn't have enough "planning" in place to make it happen in certain out of the ordinary situations. The school is very small, and they don't have a lot of staff, so these incidents have happened when they have been in a pinch that we didn't foresee. I think it can work, but obviously it needs more tweaking for that to happen. We are running out of time, tho, because even if this woman magically changed overnight, the perception difficult child has of her and himself with her will take a long time to change - I realize this must be fixed [I]yesterday - [/I]we don't have the luxury of time because this is damaging difficult child now. I have difficult child home today. He was pretty wild early but has since settled in and is playing nicely. He doesn't realize it is a school day and that he is missing. I did let difficult child know that she got in trouble for what she did; adults get in trouble, too. I will meet with the director the first of the week and nail down some more specifics - was she given an ultimatum; how long does she have/how many strikes does she get to get it together before action is taken; what can we ALL do, additionally, to MAKE SURE difficult child is never alone with her or in a room where she is the authority in charge? I work 2 minutes away - I realize my presence in the classroom isn't ideal, but it IS realistic and a better alternative than letting her deal with difficult child. [/QUOTE]
