[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 381306, member: 1991"] To cover yourself from the risk of "lip service only" from the super, then document the conversation you had, put it in a letter that begins, "Dear super, thank you for meeting with me today. I am glad we discussed the following issues...[list what you discussed including the accusation of you being difficult and the paras needing more training as well as the guy to work 1:1] and that your plan is to do the following...[list the plans]. I am grateful that you say that the threat of Wee being cuffed & stuffed won't happen, but I am still concerned that things could happen before you are in a position to prevent, especially since the concept of 'weapon' can be very loosely interpreted. I would like to clarify that a bit more tightly before I would feel comfortable putting Wee back into that environment. However, I am very glad t hat we were able to talk and collaborate on some positive strategies. I value the chance to work positively with educators in order to get the best learning outcomes for my children." By writing such a letter you are documenting what was said, and if he disagrees with what you may have written, he needs to put it in writing, or the record shows your side of the conversation only. And you can then use your letter as evidence of what the super said he would do. Generally when you write such a letter, it is valued by the recipient. If the person was only giving lip service, however, getting such a letter scares them into complying, 99% of the time, because you are clearly holding them accountable and formalising what they said. And from there, they can't go back. Basically, having been an effective activist this far, this one more letter nails it in place. Marg [/QUOTE]
