[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 32206, member: 3419"] So sorry Barbara! Why don't you just cut and paste the description you have in your very 1st note and use that for your Signature temporarily? The aide is very inappropriate. I, too, hate smoking. In fact, my mom died 2yrs ago from squamous cell carcinoma and had half her tongue cut out. Still, I agree that comment was not appropriate. I'll bet you the aide didn't even know she was saying it... it's just an off-the-cuff remark to her and she has no idea how it affects the overall situation. She is not dealing with-a normal child or normal school situation so her attitude and behavior must reflect that. I agree with-Marg that perhaps some of these people should be reassigned. Starting with-her! I am SO sorry about the black eye issue. I feel badly that they're sending someone to your house for that. Our difficult child goes to a private school and they don't have to follow public school mandates as much. When something weird happens, I get an email and an immediate chance to explain myself. However, they are still not allowed to use physical force of any kind on any kids. That means no spanking, no grabbing a wrist, etc. The teachers and child psychiatric yrs ago explained that if we use physical tactics, that is what difficult child will learn to respond to. Then their tactics, such as Time Out and voice commands, will not work. It puts them in a bind. We had to come up with-alternatives. Not to say we don't lose our tempers, because I understand about the book throwing thing, believe me! (Maybe that's where the expression, "throw the book at him" comes from. [img]:grin:[/img]) I totally agree that you have to stay out of the homework hassle. In fact, Avoiding the Homework Hassle is the title of a book I would recommend. Other than that, working on the IEP and medications is paramount, but others here are more experienced in that. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
