[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 242512, member: 1991"] SRL, that is it exactly. There are so many areas where teachers are hamstrung. And Sharon/WO, I know it seems I'm denigrating teachers; sorry, I don't mean to. But I have had more than my share of teachers who give their profession a bad name. Currently difficult child 3's placement is with the other kind, the sort of teacher who makes you wnat to nominate them for sainthood. And even the worst teachers that difficult child 3 had, must have at some stage gone into teaching because they wanted to help kids, or because they really wanted to make a difference. No person is all bad, there is always some good somewhere, something that can be appealed to in even the worst teacher. I find I always do best when I stay on friendly terms with the staff and when I make it clear I am not a threat and can make their lives easier. However, if the problem in their lives is my child, then I will not make their lives easier simply by going away; instead, I will work alongside them to find a solution that will best help my child, while still being workable for the school staff. Just as we want doctors to fix us up when we're sick and we expect doctors to have a magic bullet tat makes all our illnesses and pains go away, so we seem to want the same from teachers - "please work with me so I don't have problems with my child". Ufortunately, it just doesn't work that way, unless we just happen to luck out. A solution often requires a lot of hard work, and the more hard work we can put in as parents, the more likely we are to have a solution that teachers will be able to manage, to fill in the gaps. And sometimes we can be lucky and find a solution, and teachers, that make our lives much easier also. Marg [/QUOTE]
