[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 136417, member: 4362"] Star: As a teacher, I cannot believe that an IEP was run in such an unprofessional manner. Typically, we always start with a child's strengths, not his or her problems. Don't get me wrong, we do get to those issues, but it should be done with a positive tone, and include the interventions we've tried in the classroom. For a teacher to be sarcastic like that, and walk out of the meeting, is unprofessional. I would seriously consider writing to the district's personnel department, describing what happened at this meeting. The entire situation should be looked into, and resolved. This is a school that is supposed to help students who don't do well in a regular high school environment, not alienate them. You are a great, caring parent. I think that the teachers and principal finally saw that fact, and thank you for reminding them that they have a responsibility for ensuring your son's education. Some of the teachers at my school regularly use sending a student out in the hall as a way to cut down on the distractions. I use it sometimes to, but not without finding a break a few minutes later to explain to the student what it will take for them to stay in the class. As a science teacher, I also use it to immediately get a student out of the room who may be creating a safety hazard during a lab (why do they like to play with Bunsen burners so much??), but that's a different story. Anyway, good for you for standing up to the teachers. Can Dude be transfered out of the "Have a good day" teacher's class? Might be beneficial for both. Just a suggestion. YOU ROCK!! [/QUOTE]
