[QUOTE="klmno, post: 42939, member: 3699"] Thanks, everyone! I'm going to see an attorney Monday morning about this and see what he proposes. We have resources on paper- in reality, the people around here are telling me that this is the worst school district for "eliminating" kids with poblems by sending them to "schools" that don't do much besides throw away the key- which is the impression I got after spending an hour on the phone with two different ones. Realy, I have NOTHING against sending my difficult child to anyplace (school, treatment center, hospital, etc) that can assist in turning him around; but I have a BIGGGGG problem with sending him away and throwing away the key. Yes, his issues are a problem and I have tried for a long time to get an inpatient evaluation and other things to try to get us on the right direction. I don't know if other states/jurisdictions have resources somewhere between mainstream school and a shortened school that has very minimal success rate, but it sounds like other places are making more accommodations, by what I'm interpreting on this forum. That gives me hope. Anyway, I'm still confused about how the book "Explosive Child" proposes to deal with things and about the school, and the rest of the world, saying that they have to handle things in the "A" manner because the child has to learn how to live in the real world. My problem is that I can see both sides of this and I know the "A" approach got me nowhere at home; however, noone else in my difficult child's world is going to let him proceed in mainstream with this approach. And I definitely cannot see the school or anyone else in our lives, changing for this. [/QUOTE]
