I had a similar problem with a daycare and had a field day with it when J was actually kicked out.<BR/><BR/>The fact that the principal is admitting she suspended Jaysen because of his disability and the school hasn't done anything to implement the support he needs is something heard all too often with other kids. I hope, with the advocate's help, you get this mess resolved and the school does what it's supposed to.michele_khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426600211128116761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-25985018708958330232008-01-10T20:29:00.000-05:002008-01-10T20:29:00.000-05:00Marla- That's exactly what I thought!

I'm already working with an advocate, so I feel a bit more at ease knowing that I can back up my arguments.<BR/><BR/>There is another issue that came up (and it's a juicy one), but I have to wait until tomorrow to write about it since it's *someone's* first day back to school tomorrow, and he needs to get in bed. :)mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-77484330290442610912008-01-10T17:20:00.000-05:002008-01-10T17:20:00.000-05:00Keep going.

I could be totally wrong but it sounds very sneaky. Call me paranoid but I would be finding an advocate to help.

It's funny because I was painfully shy as a kid, and would rather die than stand up to someone. Baby- look at me now! Hahaha...<BR/><BR/>Ashley's mom- I did exactly that. And I even "played nice" this time. I think I'm going to have to tone it down until next week, for fear of harrassment! That's all I would need right now! <BR/><BR/>Thank you all for such awesome support and tips!mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-62656406083262574352008-01-10T13:16:00.000-05:002008-01-10T13:16:00.000-05:00Rooting for you here too.

Mine has no clue how to deal with inclusion, but fortunately the teachers have so far been open-minded and willing to learn. My son is in Kindergarten and I'm learning a lot from you about how to use Momzilla tactics, as I find more and more the need for advocacy. It just makes me mad the things we all face and how common all our experiences with public school administrators seem to be.GFCF Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080604752386244514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-86091510297574448812008-01-10T11:37:00.000-05:002008-01-10T11:37:00.000-05:00All good advice above.We are all rooting for you.All good advice above.<BR/>We are all rooting for you.Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-6061577101546748452008-01-10T09:09:00.000-05:002008-01-10T09:09:00.000-05:00Include in your letter that you want your correspo...Include in your letter that you want your correspondence attached to the suspension letter.

The only reason I didn't use it this time is because I feel it important to be attached to the suspension letter.

I say "As I understand it....(insert everything you wanted to principal to write)". Then close with, "If I have misunderstood anything, please respond to me in writing within 5 business days." You won't get a response, but your letter will be a part of your son's educational record.<BR/><BR/>That technique ended up winning a due process for me. I had everything documented and there was no record of the school dissenting, agreeing, anything...Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.com
