[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to one of these meetings and found it not harmful and probably helpful and insightful. I’m surprised that in a school community so many people are completely against talking to the other involved parent. Everyone has things to learn in this type of situation and not just about fault.

As the mom of a SN kid, I have absolutely zero need or desire to meet with other parents who don’t understand the situation. It serves no purpose for me or them. And it’s not my job to make them feel vindicated or whatever. I do my part by making sure my kid has the best IEP and therapy, and that the school implements it. The situation cannot really be explained unless I go into detail about my son’s diagnosis and therapies, and I am not gonna do that. Other parents absolutely have a right to advocate for their kids, but they need to talk to the school, not me.

In my experience, inexperienced and incompetent administrators try to set up this kind of meeting to placate parents. They think it’s an easy way out of behavioral issues and would much rather act like the problem is out of their hands than actually give kids what they need. [/quote]

Yes, we had a bullying issue with child threatened my child and was ongoing. I filed a formal complaint that was available in the school district. The asst principal preferred that I rather not have done that. That only cemented all the more reason that it was necessary. [/quote]
