[QUOTE="Shari, post: 205712, member: 1848"] Thanks, as always, for your insight. *** I had decided, since it is so difficult to get with the director in a timely manner, to copy this post, put in names, print it off, and give it to the director. I will ask her to call me to discuss, and tell her that I do not want this aide in question discplining my son, in addition to pulling him out when the problem teacher is the only one at school. I will also request a meeting during which it will be laid out that the aide that has twice now tried to intervene WILL BE ALLOWED to intervene in any and all situations. Period. If we can't comply with this, I can send him to public school where he can treated with disregard for free. *** TM - to clarify - we weren't watching out the window while meeting. I was watching prior to the meeting, and, like Marg pointed out, I think I've been conditioned to assume the aide was in the right.
