[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 343137, member: 805"] You didn't screw up by pushing him to the limits. If he was refusing to do the work, given his history of raging, the teacher should have just let him sit there - so what, big deal, he's 7 not 14. Your suggestion to have his aide go down to the library was totally right on. That's plain old balony that the principal did'nt want him to develop a pattern of not doing his work - that's a justification for their actions pure and simple. He was pushed to do something that he was not capable of doing at the time. I'm not trying to second guess you or be mean and nonsupportive, but now it's time for you to take control without regards to the consequences. You have been a little "soft" on really taking this school to the mat becaues of the size of your town and the fear of retaliation should you request what wee is guaranteed, by law. It's time for you to bring out the big guns, stand 100% behind your son, and have the attititude "be darned what anyone thinks or how your actions will affect their feelings" and hold them to the letter of the law. If you do, they will find the supports your son needs. If they have to add staff, hire specialists, or bus him out of district, so be it. Their funding issues are not your concern. Don't be worried that you will offend the principal because he has tried to work with your son. He has, this is not personal [B]against[/B] him, it's personal [B]for[/B] your son! In regards to the out of district school that offers emotional supports, naturally they would tell a parent they don't take out of zone or out of district, but by law your son must be educated with the supports he needs to get an education equivilant to his typical peers. Fight, fight, and fight some more. You've got my numbers. I will support you in any way I can. Your foot needs to go down hard here. Shari, please don't be offended by the harshness of my words. They are fueled by the anger and frustration I feel for the well-being of your son. It is totally against everything we stand for as humans for this school to allow your son to suffer and for the principal to allow it to happen. If he was really and trully committed to helping your son, he would have called in the district behavioral specialist and other professionals with more experience in Special Education needs. Those resources are available from the district and the state - it boggles my mind that this continues..... In my humble, not in the situation opinion, your son is being damaged by this and it has to/needs to stop today. Sharon [/QUOTE]
