[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 173033, member: 45"] It is funny how our perspectives change isn't it? A good day to us may be a PP's worst nightmare. My difficult child went on that field trip in the 5th grade. Did you walk by the wall with the painting that changes perspectives depending on where you stand? My difficult child was so intrigued he wouldn't leave that area and kept running back and forth from one side to the other. He thought the wax floors were great for practicing sliding on his knees, like the rock stars do on stage. We went to a court proceeding in the building across from the capitol and difficult child stands up and yells at a classmate in the middle of the judge talking. On the way from the court building back to the capitol, he pantsed (how in the world to you spell that???) the kid in front of him. No meltdowns, no running off, no big disruptions. All in all, a good day. I have learned to never leave difficult child at school after a field trip. The day is just too far out of his routine, and he's too overstimulated by the end of the trip that he can't handle the rest of the day. It's even in his IEP that if I am not on the field trip, that he can go somewhere besides the classroom for the rest of the day and read. That's too bad that they think they can't handle him on a field trip, and like Marg said - THEIR inability. Same thing happened to me after he had a meltdown on a field trip once, and kicked a teacher. The principal was there and had to sit on the bus with him the rest of the day. After that, I had to go with him (and drive separately) or he couldn't go. I fought it at every IEP and finally they agreed to send a Special Education student teacher with him when he went. Is this school or summer camp/daycare? [/QUOTE]
