[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 646180, member: 1550"] Actually, the opposite happened with my kids. They didn't want to deal with me, so they treated my kids really well. What you are doing now isn't working for you OR your daughter. I always think if something isn't working, try something new. Not making waves will get you exactly where you are now. That's fine, if you want to stay there. If you won't try anything else, well, you already know how it is...and how it will be...they will walk all over you and possibly even intrude in your life. And your daughter will not get the help she needs. It would look awfully bad for them and to the Dept. of Public Education, who funds them, if they suddenly started picking on your daughter after you asked for the Dept of Education's help. They aren't stupid and can put two and two together and investigate. Trust me, your district is afraid of the DPE. Their state money is dependent on their grace. They are glad you won't go there. And they won't pick on your daughter if you go for extra help. They don't want to have to explain things to the state Dept. of Public Education. Otherwise, you are just talking to the same ole gang at your school district and they won't do anything to one another. You need to call the Dept. of Public Education in your state to find out who your free advocate is. You can't fight this alone or keep doing what you are doing and expect different results. Advocates make your school meetings instantly more honest and respectful. They go with you and know the state law like the back of their hand so your school district can't give you a snow job or tell you off like you are a child. The school districts are on their best behavior around them as they also have power. You need some power on your side. [/QUOTE]
