[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 191378, member: 831"] Well, good for you. I say, if all that you were doing at home wasn't making an iota of difference in his school behavior and only making home a battle ground, your new perspective is a good one. Enjoy every moment you can with your kid. For me, it's the opposite. Mostly good at school and unleashing the beast at home. Though I did take a stand when Son started middle school last year. They were going to deny him an elective because of his state test scores. Because he visual processing problems, he has very low reading comprehension. He's had YEARS of remedial intervention and it has made no difference. They can't intervention him out of it. Believe me, I wish they could. But, all of the school strategies were making him HATE reading period. I was done battling with him over it. I saw his schedule last year and freaked. All core academics. No way, I told everyone at his SST. So, I had it written in his 504 that he was to get his elective. So, what elective did he pick this year?? Office Aide. :surprised1: He loves it! It gets him outside running errands for the various office personnel and then he has PE right afterwards and it's is last class. A great way to end the day for him because of all the physical activity. Keep fighting for the 1:1. Daughter had one when she was in preschool and they tried to take it away without telling me. Kinda like "Oh, maybe she won't notice" type thing. I noticed and unleased MY beast on them! (Their excuse? "We have another student that needs it more")The 1:1 was back the next day when I pointed it out in her IEP and sent the message that I wasn't just another clueless parent that will cower in the presense of the SD.
