[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5670, member: 284"] I'm sorry but this teacher is not being professional. SHE should not need your difficult child to LIKE HER. It as tho' we would say "we can't parent because our children don't treat us as nicely as other kids treat their parents." DUH.... IF the teacher has any empathy skills (doesn't sound like it --but as Sheila said, more details would be helpful) then she should be able to try to work this out with difficult child. A little understanding can go a long way, especially with a 9 year old. I have great sympathy for regular educators who get put in over their heads with our kids and have no support from their administration. I have much LESS (or no) sympathy for a special education teacher who NEEDS to be liked in order to teach. Training SpEd teachers 101 includes (1) don't take it personally and (2) don't need to be liked. Martie [/QUOTE]
