Yep, husband and I were at odds at 5:00 AM. This afternoon is our ARD meeting at difficult child's school. It was rescheduled from three weeks ago because I walked out of that ARD meeting and husband refused to sign the IEP. husband is on the defensive and it started before daylight. I say, let's get difficult child moved to another elementary that has social development classes immediately; they are doing nothing but mistreating him where he is now. husband thinks I'm being complacent about the way they have treated him in the past; not letting him go on field trips, now he has a para shadowing him all day, etc. I SAY, let's not let difficult child suffer because we disagree with his school. husband wants to blast the system and I say this is not the time or the place.
IF I convince him to not bring up that crap today in the ARD meeting......will we ALL (mostly difficult child) suffer if he/we file a complaint with the Texas Education Agency in the near future? It seems he (difficult child) IS suffering (already) from husband's antics in the last meeting because he has a "shadow" since that meeting. The principal is maintaining difficult child is "dangerous". Now, mind you, he's never even been in a fistfight or any such thing. These have been incidents like kicking someone who was trying to trip him (who wouldn't?). Of course, difficult child is always the one in the wrong, never the one who may have instigated it (so says the school).
Mostly venting here. Any opinions? I can't talk to anyone but you guys. husband doesn't get it, my grown daughter doesn't get it, I have no friend (except 6k of you members) to talk to. I just don't know where to go with this......
