[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 399991, member: 1991"] What seems to be happening with your son - he is giving back the behaviour he receives. That is how some kids learn their social skills, by imitating. The person who treats him like dirt is sending a message to him that treating like dirt is how you behave towards others. It's very much "Do as I do, not do as I say," with these kids. If teachers don't get this, they will fail. And teachers should get this, because they are (allegedly) trained to handle such situations. They certainly crop up often enough! difficult child 3's current placement is at a correspondence school where my own observations of the staff have taught me tat teachers can be wonderful, they can be understanding and they can take a lot of crud from a difficult kid without making a big personal deal out of it. The kids are at this school for all sorts of reasons, including kids who are dancers, actors, tennis prodigies or simply behaviour problems. These teachers handle the lot. There are face-to-face classes and I usually stay in the room as an unofficial aide, so I've had plenty of chance to observe just how well these teachers work with difficult child 3 and kids like him. It can be done. Marg [/QUOTE]
