My husband solved one problem for me today,thankfully.

I went through most of the year one year leaving my job to go talk to my great niece to calm her down because she was acting out. It was not fair to my coworkers. At that time I was what you would call a teaching assistant, my title was Paraeducator. I could handle her better than the teachers and school counselor at that time. Her mom would not let her be put on medications, though. It was a heck of a year. I eventually told her mom that she needed to quit driving truck and come home and deal with her. I know some of the stuff you go through.

Good for your husband. Those in charge of giving out medications to children should be trained in this area..

Good for your husband. I understand that teacher do have a rough job. BUt they knew what they were getting into when they decided to become a teacher. I use to assisst a teacher with a class of mentally challenged students. I know this is not the politically correct way to say this now but it was when I was doing this. The children just need love and understanding with lots of patience! If they can not deal with one child how do they expect to deal with more like him or even worse. They must find inventive ways to work with these children.

Don't get me started with the school system these days. I had to pull my 14 year old out of school right around this time last year because he is also in special ed and they just weren't giving him the special concessions that he needs. He has a difficult time reading and they would pull him out of his reading class, but not in any of his other classes. I went to the school and asked them if he has a difficult time reading then how in the heck is he suppose to read his science book, his history book, his math book, etc. The answer I received was "we didn't think about that". Are you kidding me? Needless to say I felt I had no other recourse other than pulling him out and homeschooling him. Believe me, I am not a big fan of homeschooling, as I feel children need to be around other children...but in my son's case, it was the best thing I ever have done for him. He is learning twice as much as his younger sister and his reading has improved 2 grade levels. He was reading at a 3-4 grade level last year. Now he is reading at a 6-7th grade level. He still has problems and he reads very slowly, but he is improving more than what they initially assessed him at. He is in 8th grade and I anticipate by the end of the year he will be right on track!

For me god for you for your husband in that problem be thankful to Jehovah God that he guide you into good.

I don't know what to say at this point. May good luck with your son at school. And your husband actually really helpful and he did what he suppose to do I guess.

sounds like a really disgusting situation at school

That's nice that your husband was able to go take care of that for you. But also sad that the school didn't handle it. They really should have someone that can deal with children of all capacities. I see things like this at our schools as well. Our middle school and high school kids get away with cursing in class. I have substituted a few times and they didn't like me because I didn't allow it. Frustrating!!!!

Well i hope he got it settled and they dont call any more and it does sound like they need more training!

It is probably embarrassing for your son too. And, remember, peer pressure can be excutiating. Hopefully those boys playing and listening in hall don't give him a bad time later on. I wouldn't put it past them as I know how kids can be sometimes to other kids. My granddaughter had a horeable time with peer pressure.

Wow, things have certainly changed. Poor teachers now have the responsibility to make kids take their meds.

From what I have read of this school so far they do not seem to be up to very much. I appreciate that, when children have specific needs it might be difficult: but I recall you stating that the school received additional funding. Good luck on eventually getting this resolved.

U havea good man in your life. He's doing all the things that u can't do, and he's doing it so well. He's showing his responsibility as your husband and a father to your son, as well as the advantage of being a tax payer. With his observation in school, it's probably the school's fault whereby they can't handle children at all. Your son is not the only example and he's definitely not the worst of them all. It's the teachers whom needs to be disciplined.

Jeez. It sounds to me like you need to get your son into a different school!

yes school people behave very strangely and sometimes give you unnecessary troubles and if you find and point out their mistakes they find it hard to digest....it happened with my daughter that she was given wrong answers in English literature and i complained the principal about it....first she started saying that no the child must not have taken down them properly etc etc... but when i let her know that my daughter is a very good student but she was given that senseless answers by the teacher...whereas the answers should be well in detailed and after analysis of the lesson when its the class 7th studies...then she read the note-books and accepted the mistake...now in the second term the teacher is thankfully changed....

I hope he made a loud noise, you cannot be expected to rush over there each time they have not been able to do their job. to help with this is there anyway you can jockey the time around so that he doesn't have to take a pill at school? Discuss this with your Doctor, he has got to know that anything that sets your child apart at school is not helpful. Maybe there is a time release or even a larger dosage that would allow for him to go the school hours without a dose. Good Luck

It seems these teachers are not properly train to handle these kids.They need to training.Is there any other school where you can be treated better way?Its better to shift to another school if this is happening again and again.

if a school is going to allow special needs children to be taught at their school then they should know how to handle them when there is a problem,i totally agree with what your husband said about having extra training in these situations,my friend was told yesterday that during a p.e lesson her son ran off and hid in the school because he does'nt like p.e,they couldn't find him for 20 minutes,which i think is terrible as in that 20 minutes her son could have quite easily left the school grounds and wandered off,some schools just haven't got a clue

Yeah,sometimes teachers can't find the relevant solution to a problem,but being a teacher myself,I must say I really try my best to satisfy every student's specific needs.

thumbs up to ur husband. thumbs down to all the other negative stuff.
