Didn't you say difficult child was in a self contained class? If so then a scribe could be one of the aides. If she is mainstreamed for English maybe one of the other kids. Good luck getting the school to think outside the box.
difficult child 1 doesn't do gym. It is required here, but his hypersexual behaviors scared them enough they waived it. If they would do like IC suggested maybe difficult child could do swimming during the summer and get that class out of the way.
