[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's okay, OP. They've now determined you're a disinterested, disengaged parent and they will lower their expectations for your son and no longer bother you with boring calls about how he's disrupting his entire class and missing out on instruction by hiding under a table. When he isn't meeting benchmarks or can't pass his SOLs and you call to discuss, they may tell you they're in a meeting and will give you a call later.[/quote]

I would say this is true if the OP cut off the counselor right away.  But she says she did talk to her for 10 minutes.  That's a LOOOOOONG time for a school phone call.  Even when I had a pretty serious issue going on with one of my kids, I can't remember being on the phone for 10 minutes.  The longer discussions are far more appropriate in person and at a scheduled time.  
So, assuming OP isn't totally exaggerating, I don't think it's fair to peg her as disinterested and disengaged.  At some point, it moves from being a time-critical/data gathering call to a longer behavioral/longterm issue type call.  The latter kind can wait until the end of the meeting.[/quote]
