[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP I just want to make sure I understand. You think it would be fine to tell the parent to treat the cancer patient at home with no school or hospital help? Because it sounds like that is what you are suggesting.[/quote]

If your child had cancer and was in the hospital, you would be at their side constantly for treatment. You would not expect the hospital staff to handle it. You would want to see for yourself that the appropriate treatment was being delivered and your child was being treated kindly. You would not go attend a work meeting while your child is getting a radiation treatment or bone marrow transplant. So the two are obviously not the same if it is unreasonable for you to be at school all day while your child is attempting to harm himself or others.[/quote]

Attending school is not a "treatment."  It's something that all children are entitled to. Heck, schools are even legally obligated to educate people who aren't nice people- like people who think that disabled kids aren't worthy of education. You were allowed to attend school, right?

If a school day is 8 hours and it is possible that your child may have a 10 minute event during the day, is it reasonable to ask that a parent sits outside the classroom waiting for the tantrum to happen?  What if the parent works? Should we ask the parent to quit his job and go on welfare so he can be available in case that 10 minute tantrum happens? Is it better to pay all those parents welfare?

You have a lot of criticisms but no actual solutions.

Expecting a teacher to magically get your child to behave when you the parent have failed to do this is absolutely expecting the teacher to “treat” your child. [/quote]

I expect a teacher to not humiliate and shame my child in front of other classmates for having a disability. It’s no wonder that the child melted down because he was being bullied - by the teacher who was supposed to be helping him. My child’s teacher evidently thought that teaching AAP would be easy and that she wouldn’t have to deal with any SN students in her class. Years later, I’m still furious about what happened to him. [/quote]

And clearly still in denial that the class was not the right for for him.[/quote].

You’re right. It wasn’t the right class for him. The teacher was incompetent and couldn’t manage her class. After getting him out, things were much better. [/quote]
