[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 520509, member: 7083"] Yet one more school administrator usurping a parent's authority at the expense of the child. The line, "You are not concerned about La Kay", has me extremely angry. I've been talked to this exact same way by admin's in my district who find it easier to blame the parent than admit the child has a disability. You're not going to get me to believe for one minute that that man has this child's interest in mind, I don't care how many people talk about liability issues (by the way, they didn't address with the mother during this interview about doctor's notes, however in the youtube video linked in the article it states that there are multiple notes from doctor's to the school district). Parents sue for everything and schools have to be extra cautious? My daughter suffered a concussion at a before school gym activity and the school personnel finally called me after 1pm - highly annoyed that my daughter kept coming to the office complaining about her ears hurting, but she didn't have a fever. Gee, they didn't seem to be worried about being sued OR about my child being injured. My daughter had a massive panic attack in the middle of an IEP meeting (hyperventilating, sobbing, unable to move) and not only did all of the school staff ignore her, they wouldn't even stop talking so I could calm her. Then after it took 2 of us to get her out of the room, they continued the meeting - illegally - without me present for 45 minutes while I calmed my child. The SpEd Director actually left while I was out calming my child. But there is nothing wrong with my child except for me. Too much been there done that to give this school district - especially knowing it's Texas, and hearing the man speak - any benefit of the doubt. [/QUOTE]
