[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 82875, member: 393"] Kjs, First of all, please don't take this the wrong way, you need to chill when with school personnel. I don't care how angry you are or what nonsense they are throwing your way - remain calm, diplomatic & in control. If you cannot do this in person, start writing letters or send via email. You don't want to be labeled a "hysterical" parent. I can't remember, does difficult child have an IEP? If so, what interventions are in place for him? Does he need a more contained setting for the time being? As for school personnel - can you handle a meeting of the minds. Teachers, VP, principal, guidance counselor, etc. Give them the low down on difficult child, if you're comfortable with it; tell them how you deal with it at home - what is successful & what isn't. In the meantime, sounds like you need an education advocate - someone to run interference for you. I'm sure others, with more experience, will come along with ideas as well. School personnel have always worked with me in the best interests of the tweedles. On issues we couldn't come to agreement on, the school gave some & I did as well, until we came to an agreement.
