[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 251830, member: 5663"] And do they even take into account that you just left your husband? That alone will make a "normal" kid act up! I hate to say it, but that's the way it is in small towns in conservative areas. They stick by each other and have a hard time dealing with something that is not the normal routine (this is from experience, my parents moved to a farm when I was in 5th grade and I HATED the kids because of this reason). Plus because they're small, they dont' have the resources to help the kids who need alternative teaching methods, nor (I assume) do they do all that extra training to help kids like ours because the budgets aren't there (I'm guessing, based on property taxes and whatnot). One thing I noticed - did you say there are 35 kids in his 2nd grade class? I thought you couldn't have more than 20 through 3rd grade? Is that only here in CA? My daughter's 1st grade class has only 15 kids with one teacher and one parent-teacher and that's more than enough to have to deal with. 35 kids in a class for that age means that kids with issues get ignored and mistreated. I'm glad you are holding out for the Special Education room. Good luck, it sounds like this is going to be a fight. [/QUOTE]
