[QUOTE="SRL, post: 82063, member: 701"] Welcome to our forum. What a tough situation to be in, especially when she doesn't have support of the administration. I do recommend that she document, document, document problems and lack of administrative follow-up. Schools like this tend to put the problem back on the teacher and she will want to have proof that she's followed through. I was a high school teacher and I think your wife's best source of help would be an experienced teacher in her building as they would understand the cold, hard realities she has to deal with. Has she confided in any of them and asked for help? Also, has she contacted a teacher's union rep to discuss the working conditions (no administrative support, 25/30 Learning Disability (LD) students with no support, etc.) That classroom makeup is setting her up for sure for the kids to fail state mandated testing. For help with the ODD kids we recommend the book, The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. I don't think it's feasible to apply to a whole class setting such as this but it may help her on a case by case basis. [/QUOTE]
