[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My question on this thread was simply - what is the process to getting my child protection from harsh punishment/discipline at school? This question can be answered without opening up a new and separate discussion or debate as to what constitutes "harsh" discipline. The question as to what truly constitutes harsh discipline is not for DCUMer's to debate or decide, after all, it is for me, my husband, an attorney (which we're seeking), my child's psychiatrist, and the school to decide. I wasn't asking for you to get in on this discussion too.

So it does beg the question - why do some PP's need to know what the actual discipline or punishment was and why do some PP's need to know what the misbehavior was if this issue will be decided by our school and his psychiatrist and attorney? The only reason I can fathom is to ensure that I not be permitted to allow my child to "get away" from appropriate disciplining for his misbehavior by opening up a debate first, determining if it warrants protection in an IEP, and then deciding whether support for me or my child is justified. So if you are one of those people who needs to determine if my child is worthy of protection here first, I would suggest you ignore this thread and get on another one of the threads available to you in the SN forum. You're looking to stir the pot and I'm not interested in giving you a mixing spoon. [/quote]

OP, you sound very defensive and easily agitated and my suggestion is when you deal with the school you need to leave your baggage at the door. They need to see you as a reasonable, rational, open-minded and empathetic person so that they hear the message and can collaborate with you whether than focusing on walking on eggshells with you and calling in extra personnel to the team meeting to help enlighten you. It is COMPLETELY reasonable for people to need more details to answer your question. You were incredibly vague and then you got agitated when people requested more information. [/quote]
