[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 374293, member: 1991"] 1) Do not agree to partial days. If they insist, point out that now you have been informed, partial days = suspension and the clock starts NOW. 2) Do not agree to so many different paras. Not on. Too many transitions. I think you should urge them to have a practice run with a "normal" kid, put them through this including the early finish. Then observe to see if there is any problem. Also compare the normal kid with a normal kid in the classroom with access to the full learning program. Which one has learned more during the day? 3) Do not let anything slide. Insist - but always, always, follow through. Don't ever say, "Well see how this goes, it might not be that bad," because that is THEIR words and thinking, not yours. This is YOUR child who does not have equal access to education. He is missing out. They have the responsibility to ensure he does not miss out. They are failing that responsibility. Have failed it already, last year (at least). They think they can continue to snow you, to convince you to accept their crud. DON'T ACCEPT IT ANY MORE! Stay strong. be firm. Be ready to get the lawyers and be ready to follow through. You may not need to, but your current unwillingness is telling the school that yet again, they can muck this up and you won't do anything except whinge. That is what too many parents do. Never forget - it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. Marg [/QUOTE]
