[QUOTE="Andy, post: 217715, member: 5096"] Thank you! I love how Nancy reminded me of the difference between positive and negative. Last year when this year's teacher asked me how she could help (she taught Math and Science and Computer). I did tell her to use positive discipline or teaching methods. His homeroom teacher last year was the best person for him in that situation. I was very nervous about this year's teacher (the math/science/computer) because difficult child had decided he couldn't stand her. They are getting along great and she tries so hard to teach and deal with him where he is at. I think this sub is "old room" teaching. She didn't want to take the time to figure out what happened. difficult child is part of a very small day school. 21 kids Kindergarten through 6th grade. Two teachers for 1st - 6th. The teachers each have their subjects that they teach to all the kids (one teaches every science class, one teaches every reading class, ect.) They work really hard to not take days off. They are not gone very often. difficult child does not have an IEP. Last year he would have needed it if he was in a public school (or maybe even another school). However, these teachers work with me to meet his needs. They accept my input on how to handle him and look for ideas to present to me. They are very creative thinking outside the box type people. We do not have a principal. My husband is school board chair. I will know each morning if she is subbing and will keep very close tabs on difficult child. He told me that she was fine today so whatever it was she confronted him about must have been minor or he would have called me. I am sure it was everyday kid behavior that he corrected with her direction. If it was a major issue that he didn't want to tell me about, I would assume that it is the teacher's responsibility to inform me. So, no visit from teacher and no news from difficult child - Sounds like a no need to worry about. I also like how Nancy referred to "Vibe". difficult child really is very sensitive to "vibes" and he isn't very tolerant of anyone that "clashes" with his "vibe". He will definetly make life harder than it needs to be if he doesn't feel comfortable. It doesn't help if that person can't deal with it positively. Thank you again. You have all given me more food for thought to continue forming the words/view points I will need to take in preparation for her next sub at our school. [/QUOTE]
