[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 129241, member: 1233"] I think that not all teachers would have a problem with a respctful and polite reminder of what is in the IEP. I also think what our difficult children (and pcs) think is polite is not what the rest of the world thinks is polite. In a situation wehre the other kids have made a big deal of it, the teacher may be flustered and unaware of how to handle it with-o calls from a lot of parents about "unfair" policies. Or she may have been in the middle of a rough day. Advocating for yourself in a polite and respectful way is an important thing to know when out of school, but it is also hard to learn. And some people will always have a tough time when reminded of a mistake. It sounds like your letter should be sent to the sp ed director, the teacher, and the principal. It needs to be documented so that if you have further problems you have a leg to stand on re: multiple/continueing problems. Leaving the principal out of the loop is not a good move. The principal is the person who will deal with "behavior problems" your child presents. He/she needs to know of problems the teacher poses. Maybe you could ask the teacher nicely (in person) how she would like difficult child to remind her when there is a difficulty that is covered by the IEP? Maybe phrase it that she has SO MANY students with different needs she would be Superwoman if she could keep it straight 100% of the time (this is mostly true in schools nowadays), so how could difficult child remind her when a situation like this comes up? STress that you want him to be polite and respectful, but that he has an IEP for a reason. Hoepfully there will not be future problems. It is hard on teacher AND student when this happens.
