[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 129256, member: 1697"] I had read this thread, then got offline to go oversee easy child do some of her makeup work for cooking class (from when she was out with her pneumoina) and while watching her go thru her work.I remembered what got posted LOL while I was helping my easy child. Yes, advocating for oneself is a very important and valuable life skill. It is a grat thing for everyone to learn, whether difficult child or typical teen or whatever. Matter of fact it was written in to all our IEPs here for our kids to advocate for themself, to learn to identify and state their needs. It was also policy at all our schools from middle school on, that the child attend the IEP meetings and offer input insight and ideas. SOooooooo at these grade levels especially, a child more than likely (here at our schools) will know what is in their own IEP and also will know which teachers were part of the iep creating. My easy child does NOT have an IEP, has no need for an IEP, but, she OFTEN has need to advocate for herself at school, to teachers. My son often had need to remind teachers WHY he wore sunglasses in school (sunglasses in general, are NOT ever permitted here) and Buffy more than once was accused of possessing a forged escape pass and needed to advocate and speak up and handle this issue. Politeness is of utmost importance, but, I know there were several times I personally witnessed out of sight, my children being polite and respectful, and school staff NOT being the same . And considering many teachers get frustrated when they have "taught" a student something and the student seems to have forgotten, some teachers might be setting the role model for a student to become frustrtaed when their teacher forgets something they should remember. Yes, I do think it is OK for a child to respectfully and politely remind a teacher. And the child should be thanked and praised for doing so. Seems to me, this child might have been NOT the one to disrupt the class so much as the teacher herself is the one who disrupted the class. And also disrupted this childs momentum with this class lesson. [/QUOTE]
