[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 67712, member: 1498"] It wasn't one bad incident, it was a series of bad incidents with two school districts. We actually moved from the one where my son was illegally and fraudulently excluded and ended up in the district where they had the conversation about him in front of other students. by the way, the vice principal who railroaded my son -- and five other boys -- was transfered to a less desirable position before the year was over. And then to a less desirable one. And then he left the district. Prior to his bad acts regarding these boys, he was in line to be principal at the high school. As for suing, there's no point. I couldn't find a lawyer willing to sue But I couldn't afford it anyway. And the school districts know that most parents won't find lawyers and if they do, can't afford to outlast the districts delaying tactics. My advocates lawsuit was still going on 4 years after her son graduated; she sued to get him a Word Smart when he was in sixth grade. Judgmental? Perhaps. If so, my judgement would be "naive", not "out of their mind". I was naive once, I trusted. My son got badly burned. I am far from being the only person whose child got burned because she trusted school district employees with that sort of information. I think Kathy will support me here: Teachers can report behaviors or changes in behaviors; they can not determine if those behaviors are side effects of medication. Teachers don't really need to know what those medications are and in what doses to be able to report behavioral changes. In the same way, teachers should deal with all children who are sick, abnormally sleepy, getting rashes, etc the same way whether the problem is caused by a medication, a virus, a toxin, etc. It really isn't their job to determine if the problem is medication related or not. I really don't understand what teachers are suppose to do with information about specific medication and dosage. [/QUOTE]
