[QUOTE="Shari, post: 248796, member: 1848"] Principal met with the superintendent about it this morning. The issue was the third meltdown yesterday, that, in my humble opinion, para caused or at the very least, escalated. He apparently poked her with blunt nose scissors on her hand. I was not aware. Still, he poked her. He did not hurt her. If he wanted to hurt her, blunt nose on those things wouldn't have stopped him. It was my understanding that meetings about his placement were to have everyone involved. This is at least the second time. I told them that I did not agree with this idea. We had agreed on Friday to try having me shadow and work with the paras this week before trying half days, and here we were canning it after ONE afternoon that I saw a LOT to be fixed. I was then told it was half days our not go to school there. I don't think that's right, either, but I don't know enough to argue it right then and kept my mouth shut (is there no end to the frustrations!?!??!!). I did say that me, SpEd teacher, or the one para that he works well with, I think, would have made yesterday's blow up not happen, and that even if we cut him back to half days, when we bring him back to full days, unless the para problem is addressed, its going to solve nothing. We'll bring him right back into the same ring of fire. He can't learn if he's not there, and the para's sure don't learn if he's not there, or only there while he's "being good". They're going to a seminar in St Louis. They think maybe that will help teach them. I'm all for the seminar, but you have 7 years experience right here with a laundry list of brokens, and in my humble opinion, they just took the cop-out. I have not had a chance to check on the status of the advocate, but its top priority tomorrow, since I don't have to go to school tomorrow afternoon. Thankfully grandma wil pick him up. Heck, they wouldn't even give me a time frame. They fully expect his mornings to be great. So they said "maybe a month, maybe 2 weeks, heck, maybe we look at it every day..." If they expect him to be great in the mornings, what are we expecting to gain from this? The more I talk about it, the angrier it makes me. I'm probably gonna make them bus him. That makes them keep him another 45 minutes and they have to deal with him on the bus. Ok, that's petty vindicitiveness talking, but its where I'm at right this moment. Give me an hour, and I'll be over that. [/QUOTE]
