[QUOTE="klmno, post: 310313, member: 3699"] Exactly- not that I trust the qualifications of anyone in the sd as being adequate to diagnosis- or do a threat assessment or do a manifestation determination, especially on a child with a mood disorder. When this Special Education director told me "they only do educational testing" for a triennial report, I suddenly noted that the majority of the report was written about difficult child's behavior outside of sd and his personality and her assessment of these things, which was obviously skewed. By the time we all get on the same page, difficult child will be out of school. LOL! Now at this school, I'm happy with the people that are actually working with difficult child directly- the guidance counselors and teachers. They planned his advanced track so he only had to take the upper level (AP/college credit) classes in his senior year. This was fine with me because I figured that if he got decent grades in 9-12th grade, we could decide then if he could handle the AP classes. The only effect this track has on him before then, other than needing to keep his grades C or better in core classes (English, history, science and math), is that he has to take foreign language. I had a horrible time trying to learn a foreign language in high school so if he struggles with this too much, I'm really not worried about him staying with it. [/QUOTE]
