[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 457821, member: 11339"] so some good and some bad at the meeting today. well, actually it turned into 2 meetings. first i went in with the worker, met the teacher she seemed nice. the VP is my highschool math teacher that i crushed on for years. so that was good, i guess as he did smile and come over to shake my hand when he saw me and he got right down to difficult child's level to talk to him. things did not go as well with the principle. so when i was listing off difficult child's needs she kept saying 'don't have that' and 'don't do that' which was really making me mad. she asked me if someone had promised me all those things because she could not provide them. i told her no they weren't promised to me, they were necesarry to have difficult child at school without hurting anyone or himself or running away. so i guess we argued a bit and i stood my ground, quite loudly as it was necessary. i was fuming when i left. difficult child's worker said i did well and told me to fill out the papers and take them back anyways and that we would discuss homeschooling later. the one good thing that came out of that meeting was that i found out from the principle that the school actually has a care and conduct(or something like that) class in the school which is not actually run by the school itself but by other agencies. they focus on behaviour problems and work on teaching the kids how to sit in class and not to talk back or whatever the issue of the day is. so, i went home and called that agency which i will be meeting with next week after they have a chance to get and look over his paperwork to see if they think he qualifies. then i filled out the paper work for the kids that will be going to that school and brought it back. the principle was the one in the office she did the photocopies and she told me that she doesn't know what to do, she keeps getting more special needs kids and the board won't give her any extra ea's. they just keep telling her she already has an ea in the class, which is true but not enough for the amount of Special Education kids there because this school has a disporportionate amount of disabled kids. she said the sk class where my 5yo will be has 5 already plus mine, two who are non-verbal and one in a wheelchair, all share one ea. the grade one class has 6, the Special Education class is 9 kids and each room only has one ea. so i told her what insanecdn said about getting all the parents together and maybe the staff too since it would benefit them, and she said if i can find the time to pull something together the school would certainly back me up. i think it's horrible, actually that the board is doing this. i'm sure it's because we are not in the 'main' city the board represents because i just moved from there and the ea's in the schools there are only for one child, sometimes two. they don't stretch them out like they do here. like how is one ea supposed to cover 6 or more special needs kids? it's not even possible!!! so anyways, the principle has told me not to bring difficult child to school next week as she is calling the board and telling them he cannot be in her school without an ea because he has too many needs, and she is going to try to help get him into the behaviour class instead of Special Education. as for the other things he needs, i suppose i will have to take that up with his ea and his teacher and look elsewhere in the community for resources. i am also considering starting fundraising events to help find money to put together a sensory area for the kids that need it. there is no reason a school with that many kids should not have one.
