You're only okay with the other kid when you can use them towards your own ends. I hope the other family reads this and sees that you are pure trash and tells the other parents in your class not to hang out with your precious kid. I'd bet the other kids would love to have lunch with a kid with Beyblades.


This. This right here OP. The kid needs SpED services, not to be separated from their classmates. Your kid is their only friend likely, and you want to take that away from them?

I agree that neither kid should be eating or spending recess inside. This school needs better ways of intervening. This is not the only kid with mental/learning disabilities, and not the first child of this nature they've ever dealt with.

This child was okay in a bubble, not okay when your child can have "normal" friends? Shame on you.


It’s not OPs job to advocate for services for someone else’s child. It is her responsibility to make sure her kid is not isolated from his peers because it makes another kid easier to handle. You’re saying that OPs kid should suck it up and perform only friend duties instead of playing tag outside during recess or sitting with the rest of the class during lunch. The other kid needs help. It is not another child’s job to be that help.
OP mentioned indoor lunch, not recess

From the OP

“ They also told my son he could bring beyblades to school last week when he and the other boy get to have indoor recess together if the other boy is well behaved.”

OP can clarify whether all of the kids were indoors for recess and playing with beyblades.

There was a day of indoor recess last week due to weather

I don't like that your kid is the reward. It puts way too much pressure on him and it's not a healthy dynamic. I'd definitely call the teacher and say you don't want your kid excluded from the class or used as a reward or punishment. You are fine with your kid being a buddy, the SN kid eating with the class, and the kid playing with him at recess if they want, but it's unfair to exclude your child

If eating indoors one day with one other kid is too much risk for your co fort, you might want to move your child to VLP.

OP here-thank you. This is it exactly. The other child is receiving sped services. I do not wish for my child to be isolated with the sped kid as an incentive for the sped kid because the school has not figured out other ways to effectively discipline or motivate him. And I absolutely hate that they are putting me in this position by permitting these activities without even bothering to speak with us first.

Hahah. OP here. You don’t know me and are totally missing the point. We aren’t covid deniers but our kids have been in are and programming with safeguards from the time programs restarted in 2020. But, thanks for playing.

OP here. I don’t think it was on a day that called for indoor recess. And I think now that this was part 1 of keeping problem kid inside during recess and having my son in there to play with him based on how all of the information is coming in and adding up.

I think you misread the post, OP.

This has nothing to do with covid and pretty typical. You need to email the principal, school counselor, teacher, etc. and let them know your child will not be used as a reward or forced friendship for this child nor will your child be separated and eat indoors.

I hear sped is contagious. Definitely keep your kid away.

Save this, print it and read it aloud 10 years from now. You will see how ridiculous you were. Hopefully you will have overcome this stage by then.

Her kid likes this other kid! I agree that she has a right to request her kid is not used as an incentive but I think it may be a bummer for her kid

You need to speak up for your child. Schools often do this and its very frustrating.
