[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS9 goes to a small private focused on social emotional learning. He doesn’t have SN but a year ago we received quite a number of phone calls and meetings re behavior.

First, every time there was an issue, our school offered a plan about how to jointly address it—- meetings with the school counselor, external resources, etc. There were solutions offered, not only problems presented.

Secondly, why is stating a fact about slavery in the Greek civilization so out of line? Teachers should have used that as an opportunity to highlight injustice and oppression in that civilization ,and  relate it to ours. and not only white wash it with the positive legacy that’s always featured.

With the roasting, which is also a thing in our school, sometimes friends hurt each other. A good lesson for life. Happens with adults too. The lesson here is how to repair. Our school, when feelings get hurt, opens up a reparative process. Our kid has had to write a letter to another kid in 2nd, or discuss feelings with a counselor, etc. schools, esp focused on socio emotional learning have to actually teach and model it. Not just talk about it.

I would raise this with the school.

Op - your school sounds great. I would love this! Are you in dc?

I’ve done a lot of heavy lifting the last ten days between therapy and my own coaching at home, a new social skills class, I set time with his psych and much more. 
I think you’re totally right - it rubs me the wrong way to not have it be more like you describe. I pay so much partly bc I want them to be my partner in this - not land the ball squarely in my court to ‘fix’ his personality. Of course no kid whether sn or nt can go around saying things that are hurtful. But if i wanted someone to say ‘this is not cool, deal with it’ - I feel like I could get that pov for free and then maybe retire before I’m 85. [/quote]
