[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5966, member: 284"] Sheila, Thanks for posting this. Pete Wright is a real positive guy but I have a hard time seeing how putting a child in handcuffs and ending up in juvenile detention is a "positive experience." I'm sure following Pete's advice would lead to a better outcome than not but what needs to happen is to have schools stop criminalizing behaviors that are manifestations of a child's disability. Further, in my opinion this is a direct effect of NCLB pressure. A bad situation and another reason why if your child has any acting out behavior, he or she should not go to middle school without an IEP. In highly punitive school districts, the legal protection of an IEP is needed in elemnentary school. Martie [/QUOTE]
