[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 212387, member: 1991"] "As for the assault charges.........all we can do is wait to see if the teacher follows thru with the complaint and figure out how to pay for a Special Education lawyer." I am unfamiliar with your legal/educational system here, but if difficult child's behaviour would not have happened if the school had correctly followed the plan/had an appropriate plan in place, then surely the school is the body ultimately responsible for the teacher being bitten? Also, be very, very careful to not let the school deflect you into blaming your child - of course difficult child has rules she must follow, but if her problem behaviours were escalated because the school didn't handle things properly, then the cause is the initial cause - the lack of disclosure to the sub plus lack of plan in place. Example - a house burns down in a forest fire. Perhaps if there hadn't been firewood stacked against the wall, the damage to the house may not have been so complete. If there hadn't been hot winds driving the fire onto the house, maybe it wouldn't have caught alight. But if the firebug hadn't lit the fire a mile down the road, the high winds wouldn't have mattered and the firewood stack wouldn't have mattered. The firebug is ultimately responsible for the damage and any loss of life. In the same way - the underlying, ongoing problems that are under someone's control, are the causative factor. difficult child's condition (which is not under her control) is a contributing factor, not causative. I would be discussing this with the school - if your difficult child faces legal action as a result of biting the teacher, then what legal action can you take, to recoup from whoever caused difficult child to react in this way? As for "the sub didn't need full disclosure" - what the...? "There's too many students and teachers around, they can't ALL have full disclosure..." Why the H not? Sorry, the answer her to the school is "Not my problem. That's YOUR problem - find a way! Because YOUR rear ends are on the line over this, you failed to inform, an incident happened, you are where the buck should be stopping." Do check this, to make sure it is accurate in your country, but I do know I could make this argument stick here in Australia. Marg [/QUOTE]
