[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 9209, member: 831"] Well, I really don't have any advice to offer other than arm yourself with information and know, inside and out, your rights and the rights of your son. The Special Education. forum is really good for that. I can tell you that many SDs get away with things simply because of parents being uninformed of the laws. I know, I work for one. Though my school is pretty good about this type of thing as we have a wealth of difficult children. Plus, most public schools use the authoritarian approach when dealing with students. And, difficult children generally don't respond positively to this type of disipline. I will advise you to stay very calm and lOGICAL. Be a warrior, but one of quiet, and unrelenting, strength. I know this is a highly emotional situation for you. But, if you start over-reacting you are going to be labeled "out of control", or a "pain in the @#$ parent". Schools can get rather dismissive when they think they are dealing with an overwrought parent. You want them to understand YOU KNOW law and you know what you are talking about. Does he have an IEP? Having one gives you much more power. Sounds like your difficult child needs one. [/QUOTE]
