[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't understand the difference between "special treatment" and "special needs" that's on you. And blanket claim "she's bad with students who are not NT period" just shows how some critics try to unfairly project their individual feelings onto the masses. I think Dr. B is a hardworking, caring educator. She cares about ALL the kids - every single one, regardless of ability or who their parents are. And yes, it is unfortunate so much money meant for education ends up getting spent on litigation. But that's not Dr. B's fault - she upholds DC policy and law; she doesn't make it. And how have those lawsuits gone? Honest question.[/quote]

She absolutely did not care about my autistic child. And the hearing officer in our due process case agreed.[/quote]

Unlikely that a hearing officer found the principal "did not care." But great that you were able to get a successful outcome for your child! Dr. B has faults like everyone else, but no need to vilify her. She is a mom too. Of course she cares about children.[/quote]
In our case - she did not care about providing FAPE for my child. There were records around this. 
She talked a good talk when she met you - but given the # of families who have won cases during her tenure this was systematic and a part of her leadership. Winning a case is not easy.  I have gone through the process multiple times and I do not wish this on anyone. 
To get to the point that you are filing a complaint, your child has seriously suffered with what the school has provided. To win a case - it is not about not crossing a "T" or dotting an "i"  [/quote]
