[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 203512, member: 3626"] Whether it was one of your son's better days or not, he kept it from escalating. I'd be pretty proud of him. To be chastised because you're not sitting properly is ridiculous (unless he was hanging upside down). If I can find a way to do it (charis with arms are a problem), I'm sitting in lotus position about 95% of the time. I did this in school, too, unless I was wearing a skirt. At work, it is usually with one leg curled under me. If he was paying attention and/or trying to do his work, what possible difference does it make how he was sitting? Most teachers of 6 YOs are thrilled if the kids are just staying in their seats. They don't worry how they are sitting. As to not letting the aide help, I'm glad you're the parent in this one and not me. I think I'd be pushing the teacher into a wall as I reamed her the riot act. If the school and I agree that my son needs an aide and the aide sees a need to help my child, there is no way on this good earth that the teacher would be able to override that decision. Anyway, your son deserves kudos for holding it together as much as he did. The teacher deserves something (and I won't say what cause I'd be banned from this board). [/QUOTE]
