[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 499094, member: 11791"] Unfortunately, it may well be a complex situation. What is best for Q, may be causing a real problem (given the history here, the chances are lower - more likely its theoretical... ) for some other student(s) in the class. At which point, it becomes a lose-lose proposition for everybody. No matter what course of action is taken, somebody loses. And so... admin has decided that it is better for Q to lose, than for the others to lose. Having said that... there are alternatives, and they NEED to be finding and using those alternatives. And I'm not talking alternative placement, either. - group the kids who need less distraction into one class, and put Q into a class of mostly PCs, who can handle having him around (everybody wins) - have Q in a back-fill class - where other kids come and go for special help, and he stays for most of the day. Still gets transitions (others in and out), still gets socialization, etc. - but its a smaller group, might be more manageable. - there's probably another dozen approaches - NONE of which involve alternative placement. But... you have to have supportive admin, to do any of this. [/QUOTE]
