[QUOTE="beandawgs, post: 415767, member: 11487"] Thank you so much for your kind words Patricia, it made me cry. This is a grieving process. One thing I do think about this class is that there is little to no parental involvement. The teacher told me that the other parents weren't involved with their kids before placement in her class and now they're mostly relieved they aren't getting the calls from the school anymore. I *want* to know what is going on with my little one. I feel very protective over him, especially because he has been so sick. (Not sure if I mentioned that in my original post but he's been a patient at MD Anderson). My feeling was that they feel that alot of these kids are manipulative and are in control of their behaviors. However, at his current school his Special Education teacher even told me she felt that Mark was sometimes, but not always in control of the behavior. With his medical condition I have to be alerted if he looks ill or has a fever, he has to go to the hospital right away because he has a poor immune system. Two years ago he almost died from sepsis at Anderson. I worry that they may interpret that "ill" behavior as manipulating to get me to come or something and hold off on calling me. Things like this have me worried. Funny thing is he is so afraid of IVs and hospitals he would never ask them to call me because he knows he would go to the hospital. When he refuses to take medications I tell him "ok we're going to the hospital" and he takes the medications, works everytime. My honest feeling here is that this school system will not be willing to budge on anything because they are so proud of their system. :-( [/QUOTE]
