[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 98965, member: 1991"] A naughty part of me wants to ask SPED teacher, "Would you like me to discuss this with your supervisor, the Board of Studies and the local congressmen? And the media? And please be aware, I am not merely asking an idle question here, you DO have a choice, unlike my son who is in the firing line every day with this kid. Your choice - fix this now, or I will get it fixed by going over your head." Honestly! How can they expect a difficult child to hold it together, when they allow him to remain in such a difficult situation? Someone needs to explain the meaning of the word "rhetorical" to SPED. Honestly! And to criticise difficult child for having a good comeback line - so what else do you do? If you try to ignore that sort of thing, the kid ups the ante. I worked hard to teach difficult child 3 to not hit back, but he had to learn some good comeback lines to help. easy child 2/difficult child 2 - same thing, she used comeback lines to stop the bullies in their tracks. Provocation is not the same as response. And our sports stars don't help, with the sledging they do. If that is permitted (until it comes to blows) then no wonder this sort of thing is ignored by the staff. For sledging - see Wikipedia [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledging_(cricket)"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledging_(cricket)[/url] A classic example is Rod marsh to Ian Botham, "How's your wife and my kids?" And an exchange directed to (I think) Javad Miandad (possibly from Botham), "How come you're so fat?" who answered, "Because every time I **** your wife I eat a biscuit." That one led to blows on the cricket pitch. But the only action taken was for the physical punches which flew, not for the sledging that started it. So maybe the SPED teacher is a cricket fan? If so, tell him that this behaviour "...is just not cricket." Marg [/QUOTE]
