[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 220337, member: 1233"] Call for the advocate TODAY. The teacher is making snarky comments about difficult child being late sometimes? Remind her that there is no place for sarcasm in a classroom. Children (all of them) are easily hurt by comments adults would ignore. IF she has a problem with difficult child being late she needs to address YOU. Make this point VERY clear - that you will NOT tolerate verbal harrassment from and adult authority figure. Ask teacher to check her schoolbag. Or to have another child help difficult child remember to put her homework folder in her schoolbag. BUT it may not be unreasonable to expect Rin to take some responsibility for this, like remembering to show the teacher her schoolbag to be checked. Maybe a small prize for Rin if she does show it to the teacher? You could provide the prize. At one pt I had trouble remembering my lunch $$. My mom got a jigsaw puzzle, put it together and numbered the pieces on the back. Every day I got 5 pieces of the puzzle. So I would rush home to figure out where they went on the puzzle. Puzzles motivated ME. Find what motivates Rin, even if it is a junky little toy, and use it to get her to do what she needs to. Why can't Rin just go out to the hallway with a book or something when she needs to get it together? As long as she doesn't disrupt others. If that won't work, then ask them to let her go to the Sp Ed room for a time out when needed. She is in the process for an IEP so they should let her go and do that, I would think. A parent advocate will stop a LOT of this carp. Have you posted about this on Sp Ed 101 forum? They will have MUCH better ideas for how to help. [/QUOTE]
