[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 133771, member: 4570"] klmno, You gave me a good chuckle! No, I live in California. But, I hate to say it, I think what we have experienced is the push back most parents get. In fairness to the teachers, before I had a difficult child I looked down my nose at people who "could not control\parent" their children. I sometimes believe god gave me my wonderful difficult child to humble me a bit....LOL I believe these educators think that if I just parented correctly this behaviors would correct themselves and I am makin excuses for my son. They just do not understand. The only teacher my difficult child has had that understood was his first grade teacher. She adopted her son and he had severe behavior and learning disabilites. She told me that no matter how hard she worked, nor how much she tried, it didn't help. She was the only one who helped me and supported me and I believe that is because she understood. i have given up trying to get them to confirm he has written in his planner and bringing the correct work home. They just refuse to do it even if in the IEP. That is one of the reasons I have hired an advocate. I am lucky I have the financial resources. The said part is I did not even know about an advocate until I found this site a few months ago. Thank you for taking the time to post to my question. I wish you luck~ [/QUOTE]
