[QUOTE="slsh, post: 618632, member: 8"] I understand, believe me I totally understand, the desire to not be seen as adversarial. Only you will know if/when the time has come to get an advocate. I would, in my humble opinion, very strongly address the suspensions though because it is impacting not only his education but also the opportunity to have some social interactions with the basketball. Some districts are just going to do what they want until you get an advocate in. on the other hand, the elementary district here in IL that I dealt with got in line very quickly when I showed up at one of my easy child's first few IEP mtgs with a binder labeled in big black bold letters "IDEA statutes" and another one with the IL sped statutes, LOL. I was *not* happy with the direction things were going, and those binders did the trick. It's really unfortunate that a lot of times it comes down to intimidation, but.... it is what it is. Some folks play fair and remember the goal (education, not punishment/exclusion/whatever), and some just never will. [/QUOTE]
