[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 248682, member: 6705"] True - even when I went to private school, the teachers couldn't always do everything for every child. They still can't. husband told the "medication" teacher that easy child had done [B]much[/B] better without medications in the past and that he didn't want to hear it from him, since he wasn't easy child's doctor (similar to what you said!) I think my real issue with this is an experience we recently had. husband arranged with difficult child's school (middle school) that if difficult child started feeling out of control, she could go to the vice principal's office and vent to him. A week went by and she started complaining that he hated her. Then she started getting demerits - two to four at a time - for leaving the classroom abruptly (which had already been arranged), yelling at the VP (again, arranged), etc. Suspensions. Then the expulsion hearing where they said she had drugs, paraphernalia, tobacco, had attacked another student, attacked a teacher... Umm... Every time she gets demerits or a suspension they send home paperwork to sign. [I]Neither of us ever saw this paperwork and the school could not produce it[/I]. The school had and has no interest whatsoever in working with her (or us). They did not expel her but she cannot return to school (HUH?). She's in a PHP right now that she hates, but she's willing to try. Her teachers, during the P-T conference, stated to her (I was there for this one) that "you're going to fail". No "unless..." added. Six weeks into the school year! I'm glad easy child has his IEP in place already, because I have a feeling it will protect him a bit from the stuff difficult child has gone through at the middle school. I hope. Caveat - not saying difficult child is blameless, far from it! [/QUOTE]
