[QUOTE="Star*, post: 313747, member: 4964"] oh and p.s. I never say anything behind someones back that I wouldn't say to their face which is good because in 7th grade the principal had it OUT for Dude and really made a big stink over a little girl's purse and had Dude arrested for breaking the strap after she hit him with it. I was standing with a bunch of women not to long ago and someone mentioned this principals name. I had nothing nice to say so I kept my mouth shut and upon being pushed and pushed I finally said "Well if you MUST know I think the man lacks patience to be an educator and is a sorry excuse for principal. Further and personally I think he is a Jack A." and the principal stepped from beind the group of women and said "Always nice to see a familar face." and kept right on walking. I said "Glad to see he knows when he's not wanted." Principals are not Gods - they are people who have bad days, and make poor decisions just like the rest of us. The choices that particular man made regarding my sons year at his school were based solely on personal likes. He knew it. When it came time for him to be accepted into a group where his opinion could or could not be valued? I chose not to allow him in. He left. I wasn't sorry. Despite what he did to my son on this particular instance I didn't have it in me to be the bigger person. His decisions were the beginning of my sons career with the Department of Juvenile Justice system and could have been avoided completely - had he taken time to do his job properly. Even the Father of the little girl who hit my son with the purse did not want to press charges when Dude grabbed the purse to keep from being hit and the straps broke. The man was, and still is...a Jack A. So keep that story in mind when you are up against these people in school that have no clue what YOU are up against at home with your child. Educate them...and either they'll get what you tell them or they won't. If they don't? You can't make them understand. If they do? Work with them finding a common goal which is to get your son an education in the least restrictive environment possible. But don't let them bully you or him. (okay off my soap box) [/QUOTE]
