[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First grade teacher here. I am confused by the level of detail in your post - how do you know such private info about IEPs and accommodations? I have had a few instances where parents start to gossip about kids in this way and it is usually full of misinformation and never really goes anywhere good.

I am confused about a "movement" to ask for a child to be removed. Surely you must know that it doesn't work like that right?

Now to on what may actually be helpful:

-Parents should communicate their concerns to the school. Sometimes in my career I have really advocated for a child to get a one-on-one aid and the school was sluggish to move until parents made enough noise. It shouldn't be that way, but it can be sometimes.

-Communicate your concerns about your child's safety to the teacher and principal. Ask them for specific information about how your child is being kept safe. They can't talk to you about discipline of the other child, but they should be able to articulate a plan for keeping your child safe. This can push the school to address safety concerns. [/quote]

Teacher, thank you for this thoughtful response. My child was subject to this kind of misinformation. Other parents were spreading all kinds of outrageous, ill-informed gossip, while the truth was that we had been fighting for months to get an IEP and it was the school that was resisting every step of the way and was causing many of the issues. OP, please don't judge the other mother. You have no idea what she is going through.
