[QUOTE="klmno, post: 41174, member: 3699"] Thanks, all! I left it with them that i would keep an open mind and would check out the places they gave me as "options" but that i would not sign anything without checking it out and determining for myself that it was an appropriate and beneficial school for my difficult child. if i can't find the place(s) acceptable, i figure i'll tell them they will need to get his home school on board- even if it means getting a specialist in there. Funny to me, on the school board's website they have plenty of psychs/specialists listed, but we didn't have one who knew what was going on, much less one on the iep, giving advice or helping my difficult child, until after i sent an appeal letter. i think i'll also mention that since i'm just a layman mother, i'll need to discuss their proposals with someone more knowledgable than me from now on. i think i lost it for them when at wed's meeting, the principal said she didn't consider the fall a successful time period for my difficult child like i did because, even though he never repeated the same violation again, he did misbehave again 3 or 4 weeks later. that's when i gave my little talk on how unreasonable it is to consider a child a failure if they misbhave in another way after being in trouble for one incident and never repeated the violation they were disciplined for! i probably didn't word that right, but meant, if your child misbehaves and they are punished and never repeat that again, are they a failure if 3-4 weeks later they do somthing different wrong? i told them, and personally believe, our difficult child's are doing well when this is the way things are going. Why do they see this as his failure? [/QUOTE]
