[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 267063, member: 1233"] Shari, I am glad you met with the Sp Ed teacher right after this. As for the training to be a para, well, I actually interviewed for this position in our SD, actually at thank you's school, beginning of last school year. The training included "Hi! Here is X. He has problems with A, B and C. Sorry, you can't read the IEP due to privacy issues. Just try to keep him from disrupting things or hurting anyone." That was IT. ALL of the training. This was the ENTIRE training course. And I would have earned about $9 per hour - which makes this a highly desirable position in our schools - one of the highest paid jobs because it is so hard to get anyone to take the job. I would actually be earning MORE than the Sp Ed teacher!!! I know I encouraged you to try the public schools also. And I am so very sorry. I had hoped they would be like our school is, and like the experience Wiz had in public elementary school here. As for if you can fire this para, I don't know. You CAN refuse to let her near your child. You can also breathe Hadesfire and brimstone at the entire staff for allowing what was supposed to be a "safe place" for difficult child to go and calm down to turn into one of the worst methods of punishment used on people. Heck, it takes special orders to get thrown into solitary confinement in prison!!! I actually think your difficult child was quite wonderful Fri morning. He realized that you were having a bad day, that YOU get a cluttered, confused mind like he does (a HUGE realization for a 7yo child, in my opinion), that HIS behavior can cause problems for YOU (another HUGE realization for a 7yo child), and he did his BEST to say he was SORRY because he was in trouble. these are really MAJOR wonderful things - that your son realizes you are a person, that you can get as confused as he does, and that he wants to make things better for YOU. in my opinion this calls for a substantial reward this weekend. I really think you need, not want - NEED, to call the State Board of Ed about how this school is using the safe room. If this isn't criminal, well, it should be! Please know that we are all angry FOR your child, not AT you. I am agry AT the paras and pretty boy and even the sp ed teacher for she HAD to know how they were using his safe area. I really hope that they realize that difficult child will not EVER want to use this safe area to go calm down because they ahve made it so scary. Please be aware that like any abused child your weegfg will need extra cuddles and reassurance, and can even be expected to regress in areas due to the child abuse this school heaped upon him. Gentle hugs for ALL of you, and a strong swift kick to the most sensitive areas to the paras and pretty boy for abusing our wee one. [/QUOTE]
