[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 388148, member: 1233"] It sure sounds like it is time to go to due process or whatever else is available. I don't think that it isn't that they don't know how to handle him, they have been given extensive input from you and they have a sp ed teacher and have had at least one aid (the guy) who could handle him. I think it is time to face the fact that they REFUSE to handle Wee in any way that is remotely appropriate and professional. I STILL want to see proof the the principal's certification in restraint techniques. Cause she is going to keep pushing Wee to melt down and then use that as an excuse to say he is violent, restrain him and expel him. That is IF her unsafe restraints don't cause serious injury or even death to Wee. They honestly are not able to educate Wee because their own rigid stupidity. At the very LEAST they are very persistent at not getting what Wee needs and at not using those techniques that are in his BIP, IEP, etc to help him. in my opinion this principal has fixated on the idea that Wee is a "bad" kid and that it is all a plot by Wee to do whatever. It is time to go and visit the school in the other county. Not just hear about them, go and physically SEE what they do, have, offer, etc.... and then ASK THEM if they have room for Wiz. I still do NOT think the Superintendent was telling the truth back when she told you that the school wouldn't take Wee. The way the discussion with the Super was going it just didn't ring true. Even if they DID tell Super that, they may have room now. Either way, at best this school is a holding tank for Wee much of the time because they have NO, ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA intention of teaching him anything until they have "broken" him and made him fit into their cookie cutters. If the other school cannot take him, call and see if there are any other schools that might help. Enough of Wee's educational years have been invested in these idiots and their game of blaming the child or the parent for their own stupidity, lack of common sense, refusal to follow the laws, etc.... Heck, for MINOR legal problems they have NO right to tell you that you cannot expect a ten buck and hour employee to handle Wee.
