[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 32144"] I am not quite sure if this should be posted here or under Special Education. FBA has started. difficult child stated SW has been in some of his classes. SD has sent papers and they have been signed and returned for testing. IEP has been set, 5 weeks from now, all testing will be complete by then. Issue: I have a real problem with the way they (school) is treeting difficult child. Teachers/staff are purposely setting him up to blow up, then they threaten with calling the police for disorderly conduct. This happens about once a week. These are the ones I know about. Example: IEP in beginning of school year was to have no outbursts. Have him sit quietly and not disrupt class. If he gets angry, or if someone says something to upset him he is to go to another room where his case worker or aid will be. Giving him a chance to cool down or talk before returning to class... OK, two weeks ago, first period class, 15 minutes of silent reading. difficult child (who just changed medications a few days prior and has been up for most of the nights), he put his head down during silent reading. Teacher pushed the little button and called for an escort to take him down to the office, where he was "yelled" at and placed in a room by himself. When I found this out I asked the teacher why she did this, when our goal was to have him sit quietly and not disrupt the class. Vice principal jumped in and said he didn't follow directions. difficult child replied that half the class does not read. VP sarcastically said he would come down there the next three days to see for himself. FRIDAY - 1/2 of school. Last day of quarter. difficult child didn't want to go to school. Said all they were doing was watching a movie. I told him he had school and needed to go. Dropped him off at 8:20. At 9:15 I get a call from difficult child to come get him. He said when he went to his first period class where the movie was to be watched the desks had been rearranged and more added for the day, but his desk was put off in a corner by himself and he was told this is where he had to sit. His reply was "you've got to be kidding". He was sent to the office. I went to school and spoke to VP. He said difficult child is not telling the truth. Then he said more desks needed to be added and it was just a coincidence that his was off to the side. (I let him know it was NOT).

I am sick and tired of getting calls, when 95% of them are because he "reacted" to something the teachers/staff or other student have done. He does get punished, and I have no problem with punishment if I feel it was something he deserved. But it is just getting crazy.

If they were going to watch a movie I don't know how he could of even seen it from where they put him..alone behind book cases!!! Any suggestions on anything I can do. Can I write a complaint? And to whom, since VP and P would be useless to complain to. [/QUOTE]
