[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each more restrictive placement is a huge downgrade in academic quality.

I had a child at an ED center in Fairfax for four years and I never knew a child who returned to his base school (despite what they promise when they are trying to get you to agree to change the placement).

The suspensions, OP, are to force your hand and create a paper trail. They are trying to make your life as painful as possible (do you work?). If you don't agree to the ED center, they will do in-school suspensions after they use up their 10 "free" suspension days. (I call them "free" days b/c the school system isn't accountable for them).

Have you toured the ED center they are suggesting (it is based on address)?  [/quote]

We are going to tour the week after next. Our current social worker told us there is a psychologist right there always for the kids at this ed center. When looking on the website, the school said there were two on staff that also work at another school. And the school is over 700 kids. No way my kid is going to get more than a half hour with the school psychologist once a week.

I do work and this has been awful for my husband and I. Fortunately, I have a friendly office and there is a kids room there so he just comes to the office with me. My colleagues have a hard time believing me when I say he is violent as he is on the very small size and looks very sweet. I have heard about home-based schooling in which the school system sends a teacher to you to teach your child. Very tempting to consider this and have them come to him at my office every day. :)
