[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 63069, member: 3199"] Maybe you could use this meeting to try to change some of that. Go over difficult child's strengths, the positive things that they won't hear about from the other teachers. They also, probably don't know a thing about bipolar. Explain why he does what he does. Like mouthing off because he can't transition. It might help for them to not take it personally. And no, they probably don't know about the IEP or what is in it. So going over that might be a good idea. If it would help your nerves take someone along with you. And/or prepare notes so you have what to say in front of you. I would be asking the principal the purpose of the meeting before you go. Is it an IEP meeting? They have you out numbered, but most teachers are teaching because they are nice people who like kids. You might find an ally at this meeting. Good luck, I hope it goes well. I've got to have a meeting with difficult child 1's teacher before school, too. I'm procrastinating setting it up. [/QUOTE]
