[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 206838, member: 1991"] Keep doing this - pull him out if/when his teacher is not going to be there. Tell his teacher you are doing this and why. Also tell the school, in writing, that you are compelled to do this until they sort the problem out to your satisfaction. By putting it in writing you give the school two things: 1) You give them the ammunition they need to justify getting rid of this teacher or at least calling her to heel; and 2) You make it clear that they MUST act, they can't keep sitting on their hands and hope it will all blow over. It won't. I was told in a private phone call last night that the local school here has had a new principal appointed at last - we have teachers like yours (two, in the same family) who have been controlling attitudes etc at the local school here to the point where even the principal has caved and allowed them to have their way. Numbers have been plummeting and it's been unpleasant in the village even for families whose children have graduated out (like difficult child 3). Anyone who left because of problems with these teachers (and the flow-on problems in the attitudes of other staff, including the ban on therapists observing) has been getting publicly attacked. Nasty stuff. SO if your school finally does something permanent with these teachers, or does not - will determine whether it gets back on track, or ends up in the doldrums like our local school. I think we both are going to have interesting things to report over the next few months. Here's for early retirement for certain staff members! Marg [/QUOTE]
