[QUOTE="teachergirl, post: 96175, member: 4304"] Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will be looking for the book at the library this weekend. I wish my principal thought I was warm and caring. She's upset because the child's mother calls her and asks for her son to be taken out of my class every time he does not complete an assignment and she see less than a perfect grade:( I understand that the principal doesn't want to hassle with a disgruntled parent but I don't think I should drop all expectations all of the time...I encourage the child and ignore a lot of the behaviors as long as they don't disrupt someone else's learning. Today the student did not participate at all in class until we played the song he liked at the end. Then he jumped in with both feet. He tells me the other music is "hard". Well, it's not any tougher than the song he likes! It's an interesting journey. The more I think about it, the more I think that another student may have ODD too. His mom has told me that he sees a psychiatrist but not why he sees him and of course, I can't ask. For those who were wondering, the first child was in a condcut class in elementary school for ODD. He's currently on consult for Special Education math. The mom does not want him in any Special Education situation, not even consult. He has an IEP but there is nothing in it about behavior, just math. It may be that he won't qualify much longer for Special Education and then he is really going to have a tough time because, in terms of discipline, he will be treated the same as everyone else. This will not go well...Right now he operates under special conditions. I just don't think he is going to get the help he needs. I am afraid something terrible is going to happen first. Thanks again. I hope to be doing a lot of reading this weekend. [/QUOTE]
