[QUOTE="slsh, post: 248732, member: 8"] Shari - I'm sorry but half days doesn't cut it in my book. They're not educating him if he's only there half a day. If they cannot handle his behaviors (or if para's aren't willing to learn *how* to deal with his behaviors), SD needs to find a more appropriate placement. Sorry - but it just infuriates me when they do this half-day garbage. Our kids have enough problems keeping up academically as it is, even when they're incredibly bright, because their moods/behaviors just interefere so much. They are setting your son up to fail perpetually in the school setting. Not only is there the social issue of leaving (or arriving) in the middle of the day, but there's the hardcore basic fact that 3 hours of "education" cannot possibly match 6 hours, and exactly how on earth do they think he will ever recover academically? They had best not be waiting for him to be "stabilized" because there is simply no telling when, or if, that will happen. I'd fight this tooth and nail. Education - equal hours as nondisabled peers, period. [/QUOTE]
