[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting contrast between this thread and the other active thread:

Here:  They're assholes, they should apologize (but they may not know your child).

Other thread:  I am not discussing my child at all!  [/quote]

Agree.  But then I agree with the naysayers on the other thread.

I will say that my kid has not bullied, teased or hit other children but has annoyed them at times and, when we've gotten a note home about his behavior, I've asked him to write notes of apology to his classmates.  While their names were withheld from us for privacy reasons, DS knew who they were.  If I heard that my DS was involved in bullying, teasing, hitting another child, I would find out from him who it was, make him apologize, and I would apologize to the parent, if I knew them.

Nice.  Now imagine forcing your SN DS with fine motor issues to write notes several times a week to apologize for behavior he already feels terrible about, and making groveling apologies to other parents (that they ignore), all the while being intensely worried about your kid's future.

You making your kid write a note once for annoying another kid is NOTHING like dealing with major externalizing behaviors by a SN child, particularly when they are first cropping up in a new school and you are desperately trying to figure out what's going on, facing a 1-year + waiting list for professional evaluations, and possibly/likely fighting with the school for resources.
