[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 533712, member: 7170"] There have been 3 occasions the school year ended with Angel in the psychiatric hospital. It was like she never got proper closure for the school year, chance to exchange phone #s etc. Whether I took her the fish or not would depend on several things but the biggest would be did I know about it ahead of time? Because if I knew about it on Friday and had it sitting in the basket next to the door this morning and said "don't forget your fish" when she ran by me headed out the door; I probably wouldn't bring that fish even if I was coming to the school anyway. Natural consequences seems to be what my kids understand, punishments I hand out even if fair can result in injuries and major property damage. You said she had all weekend to tell you about this - tells me that she pulled a "POP QUIZ" - sorry I'm the teacher not the student and I refuse to do pop quizzes. "GET HERE NOW" calls from the school are not pop quizzes (though they come out of nowhere and I hate them) and I do drop everything and fly for those. UGH just thought about how many of those runs I made over school staff taking away Angel's beanie babies, she keeps them out of sight now but it is in her IEP that they are not to take them from her for any reason besides using it as a weapon.
