[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 504849, member: 8045"] Buddy, I cant give informative advice re the school system.... Their is a few things my mommyheart and gut is wondering about: 1. is the main reason for the shift your fear that they will victimize Q in his current school? Why I ask this.....does Q feel bullied or victimized by the staff or children? Because sometimes our issues with the staff luckily dont spill over to their relationship with our child? 2. Is Q happy in his current school? 3. In worry about the effect the lower functioning kids in new school will have on Q? This would upset my son alot? 4. Is Q reaching his accademic goals in his current school? Because this is the main reason he is in school? 5. I worry about the staffs answer regarding what the children see outside the window? She said that the kids are nonverbal and to low functioning to realize whats going on......I dont like her assumptions! How does she know what they feel? 6. I am also wondering about the few professional therapists at the new school.....this can lead to teachers playing therapist.....! How well and what training do they have? 7. What type of criteria do they use to decide what and where the children fit in? 8. The current school sets an example of what is expected in society....so kids need to know what is acceptable behaviour.....not being allowed to behave the way they want....if they are expected to function in open market and not sheltered employment one day..... 9. I would think of shifting to a new school if the current school is doing more harm than good? Is this the case? And also if my child is really not coping withthe social demands in current school, but then just look for mainstreem with smaller classes? 10. Is their a way you could contact some of the parents to ask how they feel about the school service? Sorry if I sound so negative, but I do think you might need to go and have a few more visits at this school because we tend to see things differently when the initial emotions is out of the way? Plenty of hugs being send your way! [/QUOTE]
