[QUOTE="Jena, post: 224022, member: 4514"] I agree it is totally a school issue. Yet what I have found in dealing with my school and difficult child is that they attribute their absences and latenesses to "at home" behaviors and lack of either parenting or proper provisions at home. To them, as long as the kid isn't flipping out when they are there their all good!! It's total Bs and I have fought this tooth and nail in my district here. Its like the cart before the horse with them. They look at the latenesses and absences as the parents fault. Not the latenesses and absensces due to the mental instability of the child who def. needs services. Their cheap, want as little responsiblilty as possible and when it comes to the "grey" matters of mental health and I find their ability to delve into this issue with an open mind is sometimes I find non existant. Oh, i'd slam them good. Call parent advocate, get letter from doctor stating latenesses and absences are due to his mental state, get as much possible paper back up as possible i think. [/QUOTE]
