[quote=Anonymous]I don't think people understand the precarious situation of public school teachers. There are many protections for students against teachers but non for students from their parents. I have been in a situation similar to OP. It is hell on wheels to get a student an IEP when the parents refuse. It literally takes alot of incidents documentation and parent complaints. There's also what's called exclusionary factors ---that the IEP team has to consider before they can get a student accommodations. I wish more teachers would speak up and I support OP. I don't think there are cases in which teachers or the school system sues the parents for their child's bad behavior or refusing to put services in place for their child. I think parents don't want a court case to set precedent because then they would feel they could be legally held responsible for their spawn (when they should be held accountable). It is the union responsibility and the job of the school to provide a safe working space for OP, but it seems to me that OP is not just asking for a safe workspace ----she's asking why aren't there laws to protect the 95% of public school children whose parents and whose children come to school to learn without disruptions?

How do you force parents to be involved and to support their child when you have clear documentation they may need mental health service? Short of suing there is nothing else school systems can do. [/quote]
