Oh, very rarely do they update anything positive. A teacher that I don't even know stopped by the other day (while I was waiting for him to be released to go to specials) and told me he had come to get her when another student was injured on the playground and was really helpful getting that student to the nurses office.
And no, he doesn't take his shoes off.
I got my first "update" last week regarding how many times he's stuck in the safe room and a tally of his bad behaviors, tho. I had to request it, but I finally got it.
The music teacher is off her rocker, but she beleives in him. Too bad he hates music.
Oh, and the gym teacher. He loves her, and she has offered to help where she can. We're talking about letting him try to earn "extra" gym time or something like that. But regular folks, I'll get an occassional update from SpEd teacher that's positive, but the rest of the gang, its this stuff. Day in and day out.
Heck, difficult child's still upset because the first time he got suspended, he apologized to the principal immediately after making the threat and the principal pushed him away. difficult child isn't one to hold grudges, but he remembers that and will still cry if you mention it.
