[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 569468, member: 1550"] You're calling the wrong places to get an advocate. I've done it twice. You need to call your state's department of public education, usually located in the capital of your state. It is a FREE service and all states have them. You probably have a particular advocate assigned to the area you live in. An advocate will not blow you off or tell you to wait patiently. They are in your corner and school districts work faster and better because they are afraid of t hem, which is a good thing. Sounds like a charter school may be a very bad fit for your child. To be honest, if a kid were hitting and throwing chairs around my children (and I have difficult children) I would probably complain too. I don't want my kids to get hurt in school, even if the other child can not really help it. There are schools and classrooms for children who act out and your son may do best in a smaller environment with teachers who are used to children who act out and know what to do. Or maybe, if your advocate is very good, you can get him a one-on-one aide, but he still may do better in a more conventional school. When my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son was not learning in his school setting, hub and I looked at other schools for a good fit for him. The school HAS to provide a free and appropriate public education for every child so if your school district doesn't have good schooling for your son's issues, they have to send him to one that does...on THEIR dime and THEIR transportation. This is what happened with my son and he's nineteen now and doing great. You need to fight hard and not be afraid of the school personnel and also not be timid toward them. The advocate will help you. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
