So many replies in this post reiterates my belief that the country is going to bell in a hand basket. So many callous people raising children to be just like them.

Open, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I fear for my child and his future in a world populated by those with such little compassion and ability to look inward. They would rather blame the most vulnerable instead. [/quote]

Disagree.  OP is only giving her side of the story-or what her child has told her.  There are gaps there that we do not know about.  Give the teacher a little benefit--none of us were there, and the situation might be quite different.

Also, OP needs to consider that her child might have been out of line.  Her DS also needs to learn to be considerate of others.  If his special needs are so great that he is not capable of that, then perhaps the story is different.  However, the teacher is trying to teach each child in the class.  You have no idea how many times she and the kids in the class may have accommodated the needs of this child.  The lip balm smeared all over his work may have just been the final straw.

If you read OP's responses, she never seems to concede that her DS needs to adjust his behavior in any way.

OP here. Rather than writing about what I concede or don't concede, why not ask me? I concede that my son should not hit, steal, or harm anyone or their property. I concede that my son needs to try his best when working with groups. I concede that my son should refrain from insulting, ostracizing, or alienating any child.

He does all of the above.

Now here's what I do not concede. My son should not have to conform himself to behave as a neurotypical child. He can not. He isn't capable of it. That is why he has special needs. As he gets older and learns to control his sensory needs better, he may be able to. We see improvements each year but they are gradual. He is on a different developmental trajectory than your child or other students. You seem to have a very hard time accepting that. If you can not accept that, you will forever be of the position that children with special needs should be banished to specialized schools and away from public schools.

It looks to me like this is your issue, not the majority opinion of parents. Thank God for that.
