[QUOTE="Shari, post: 341689, member: 1848"] I don't know any support group moms in this district. And the majority of moms in neighboring districts have pulled their kids to home-school. I dont' know any kids at the alternative school...very secret/private kinda thing. I know one mom who forced the issue in her district and came out with an acceptable outcome. I've been using her as a resource since last year, but I haven't made the progress she had. I apologice, also, for not responding. We packed up Wee and took him to the fresh air and sunshine for a few days. Insead of sitting around at home "being out of school", we went on vacation. Scr** them. I wish they had to deal with him in the hotel room 600 miles from home, crying because he's a screw up and didn't get to go to his Valentine's party. But, they aren't. I hope you understand that I do realize the principal is running a school for 300 kids - BUT has placed himself in a position of wanting to be closely involved with Wee...which I commend. But also, with which, I put a greater level of responsibility/accountablility on his shoulders...if you are going to be closely involved by choice, you've got to understand the ramification of your actions with Wee and weigh them at every turn, or you WILL elicit a physical response. And the more I think about this, the more I think perhaps there is a conflict of interest for the principal...while dealing with Wee, his thoughts also have to go to what is best for the other 299 kids there...he doesn't worry solely about what's best for Wee. I think he needs to step out of that roll andd find another person to fill it. I know it sounds like Wee is horibly fly off the handle, and there are days, but he's really not that bad and is entirely re-directable IF you'll take the time to learn to read him. Je really does tolerate a lot of frsutrations these days. WAY more than years past. And you can't expect him to "sit in a chair and cool off"...again...takes time and practice to learn that... The school has not yet talked about the manifestation...I left a message with SpEd director to get it on the books. I have not one iota of doubt that, again this year, I could shadow Wee thru school and keep him in the mainstream classroom all day long the vast majority of the days. I don't expect perfection from the others, but I expect someone to at least try to learn how. Not ship him out every time the going gets tough. And I guess thats why I get so mad. They say "we'll help, we'll help" and then when they screw up, there's no acknowledgement of what they could have done different and it all falls on Wee. SRL, I've talked about homeboud...are there any guidelines for that you know of? As in what time of day or location?
