[QUOTE="VidQueen, post: 193950, member: 5871"] It sounds to me like the principal is just embarrassingly uneducated about the students in his own school. I've found, time and time again, that I get better results with honey rather than vinegar: If it was me, I would send a very polite email to the Principal, restating all of the verifiably diagnosed conditions your child has. I would empathetically say that it is VERY hard for people who don't have children of their own with these disorders to understand why you can't use the same tactics on these children as you do other children. I would fully explain exactly the way you did in your first post...his actions (most likely due to pure ignorance) will actually [I]cause[/I] the behavior that is keeping the child from going Mainstream. I would then give the principal some links to help him better understand how his actions actually make the situation worse. Spin it. Make it look like you're trying to help him. [/QUOTE]
