[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 211718, member: 1631"] I too agree with SRL. I know the benefits of difficult child being in the regular ed classes but at what cost to others? I love the difficult children in my classroom but worry about the effect on the other kiddos. Terry, I'm sorry the teacher is so overwhelmed. Hopefully enough parents will speak with their kids and can offer some help. One thing that works really well in my room (it's not perfect), is the color card system. The kids start each day with green. If they are starting to chat or start to get disrespectful (I'm lucky I don't get much disrespect-mainly from difficult children) they change to yellow-it's just a warning to slow them down. After that it's an orange where they lose their recess doing a "fix-it" plan. If they proceed to red it is a note home to parents and they lose their Fab Friday (an extra recess on Fridays). It is very successful, overall. I can't remember though if your difficult child is elementary or middle-it might not work so well at the middle school level. Just thought I'd share, not sure if you'll want to share with the teacher or not. [/QUOTE]
