[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 379312, member: 1991"] Shari, after hanging around with you lot on this site for the last few years, I'm beginning to see a pattern. When a Special Needs kid has a program written up, the school uses this to try to help the kid's problem behaviours BY HOLDING THE KID TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF BEHAVIOUR. In other words, for the school, the main purpose of the IEp is to first identify the student with problems, and put procedures in place ASAP to protect staff and other students from the fallout of the problem kid's behaviour. Absolutely no intention to help the child at all. The main focus clearly 9to me) seems to be - don't give this problem kid the slightest wiggle room whatsoever. Hit it hard. Fast. get 'em out of here as soon as we can. Then we can get back to doing what we are supposed to be doing - teaching 'normal' kids, and ensuring the problem kid is Someone Else's Problem. Does this seem right, in view of your past experiences with Wee? Totally, utterly wrong, of course. But seriously, if this is how some schools are choosing to interpret the legislation, you need to do more than just advocate at the school level. From their point of view, of course you ill fight for your child. From their point of view, they are fighting for their staff, and to get the problem gone so they can 'get back to normal'. With attitudes like this, you need advocacy at the district level, or higher. Attitudes need to change, the law as it should be interpreted needs to be presented to the staff in the whole district, as an inservice. Shari, we battle with our kids. That should be all we have to deal with. But it never is. We end up battling with schools when they should be helping us. Being a Warrior Mum involves a helluvalot more. It's not fair. You do an amazing job, I just thought I'd better give you the perspective form a few thousand miles away, that I see something nastily familiar here. Marg [/QUOTE]
