[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651730, member: 1550"] Wow. First of all, there is no need for your kids to ever attend an IEP meeting. Secondly, just hearing about that bossy English teacher made me fantacize about how I would have stood up and talked over her until she shut up. Teachers were afraid of me. I was never afraid of them and if they got aggressive, I fought back with knowledge and I followed up by calling the Dept. of Public Ed. But I also made sure an advocate was with me. Besides knowing the system and law, the advocate was a witness. I would call the Dept. of Public Education. No reason to jump through hoops and write letters. That teacher needs to be reported to somebody who can hold the school accountable for the entire incident. The teacher is a total idiot. I always got what I felt was best for my kids. The school district heads knew I'd take action and even take it to court with my advocate and they didn't want to go there. My kids were treated like royalty. My daughter once told me that her teachers had said to her, "There are at least ten teachers here who hope to never talk to your mom again." They did what they could to keep me and my kids happy and moving forward. School districts tend to be collective bullies. The only way to deal with them and get results is to show you are as strong as they are and unafraid of them, where not going to any meeting alone comes in, especially if you are shy. I can be shy too, but if you mess with my kid, especially in front of my kid, my fear seems to dissolve and then you deal with Angry Mom With Lots of Knowledge and the Dept. of Public Education. Nobody dare messed with my kids. Trust me, the kids get treated better and so do you if you don't act scared and helpless and call in some reinforcements. The funny thing is, the teachers AND principals often turned out to be on my side and a few befriended me, included Jumper's principal, who was awesome to Jumper. He was invited to her Senior Graduation Party. You have to have fight in you. Yes, it is a fight. You need to win for the sake of your children. Get an advocate.
