Personally, in my experience, we've had a lot more success working with the team.  I understand this isn't always the case for others.  However, we found that we didn't always agree with the team, but we worked together and it's always worked out in the best interest of our child.  In fact, there have been issues where we've ultimately changed our position based on feedback from the school.  I have friends who have been more aggressive and have ultimately gotten what they "want", but the team has been a bit more rigid after that...providing the minimum to meet all expectations.  We've preferred a more civil approach.

I too prefer a more civil approach, but when the "team" consistently ignored my input, told me that the 8 months of progress we saw in reading after a summer of private tutoring was an anomaly (after two years where our ds's reading level had basically flatland with their program), and insisted that my child was intellectually disabled despite a ton of evidence to the contrary, a "civil" approach clearly wasn't working.

I'm glad you've had success. We had success with ds's first school. His second was a complete and utter nightmare.[/quote]
