[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 496198, member: 1991"] As I said to an official I was negotiating with the other day, "I prefer to cooperate and work as a team. But if I try this and cannot get cooperation, I will go so far over your head you will get athlete's scalp." (I pinched that lone from M*A*S*H but I felt justified). If you have tried to discuss this with them and despite appearances to the contrary, they still persist in seeing you as the problem, go higher up. And if that is no good, keep going higher and higher. Continuing with the meeting in your absence alone should have been sufficient reason to complain. While we let their bully tactics and misinformation stand, it will persist. Too often as parents we put up with more than we should, because we're concerned about what other people will think of us, or we're concerned about what they might do if we annoy them. Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and be politely firm. Not easy, and you might need help. But without forcing change, it sounds like they won't. Marg [/QUOTE]
