[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 547654, member: 1169"] Yes, some children do successfully return to mainstream buildings after time in an alternate school setting. You will need to stay on top of it as the district will likely be a bit PTSD about allowing him to return. MAKE SURE that the IEP does not state that he must "make his levels" or something similar prior to returning home. The school can easily make sure that he never meets his levels. I taught in an alternate school and one of my 10 year olds needed to go back to his home school but he could never make it to level 6 (a combination of being 10 and being provoked by the other boys, when punched, most boys will punch back). He had a very good case manager from his home school and I pleaded with her to let him go back and she did and he did well. I had a high schooler in my class (different year) who returned from our alternate building to his schools alternate wing and was elected homecoming king by his peers in that program and chosen valedictorian by the staff for greatest improvement and effort. He had a wonderful warrior mom. There are success stories! [/QUOTE]
