[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An IEP doesn’t protect you from discipline.[/quote]

No, but it protects a child to do it more appropriately and should be done based off the child's needs.  My child didn't fully understand when the principal and VP were yelling at him as he couldn't process it.  When I showed up at pick up time, they still had him hostage hours later yelling at him and he clearly wasn't getting all of it.  Yelling at one child to set an example for hours is not ok regardless of IEP when all the kids are doing it and its a classroom management issue, not an individual kid and interestingly none of the other kids got in as serious trouble as mine, which was frustrating when it was his first time getting in trouble.[/quote]

I think you’re taking a very one sided approach to this. You think your kid was really held hostage and yelled at for hours on end?[/quote]

I don’t believe at all that the school didn’t call you while your son was being yelled at for hours. They called you, but you either ignore the school number or just couldn’t be bothered to pick him up. He sat in that office and continued his same BS that landed him in trouble in the first place. Which is why the staff was still addressing him. If you had picked him up hours ago instead of waiting for dismissal, you could have shortened this. I hope you had a good reason for your delay.

They called me, said they spoke to him and were sending him to class.  I said ok.  Then I called back about 10 minutes later and asked to come in to speak with them then.  They insisted I do it at pick up and instead of sending him back to class, they kept him in the office all day.  Had I had known, I would have gone in immediately and taken him from school that day.  I trusted they were sending him back to class as they told me.  [/quote]
