[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you.

My situation is same-same-but-different as the mom is an OT and blames everything her 7yo does on some sensory something or other that he does not have. Then he goes to a not-school without rules or boundaries, he's been kicked out multiple times in the past few months - they even told his parents to bring him in from 8-10am every day and then take him home. And when he was being obscenely rude and aggressive with me and I spoke to them about it, their response was all, "we will talk to him about it but we don't want to push him away." Oh my god he is 7 teach him some fucking boundaries! No you cannot just jump on people's heads. No you may not call adults "Fart" instead of their names. No, you may not spit at an adult when they ask you to do or not do something. Zero consequences. I'm about to quit and blame something else because they are so brainwashed by this stupid school into thinking this is the right way to raise kids.

And I even got the same type of expert comment! She's all, "at first I was opposed to the Legos, I'm so relieved to see them taking them apart and building new things." I said, "yeah, that's what Legos are for, all kids do that." "NO," she says, "Miss Melissa (teacher at this fake school) says they just follow the instructions once and then it's done."

Oh, okay then, nevermind my 20+ years of working with children! you're right! all those kids I've known must've been outliers or something... Arrgghhhhhh.

Sorry, this turned into a rant of my own, but hot damn this sounds like the same enabling and excuse making I'm seeing. I really commend you for trying to work through this with them and teach them more productive approaches.[/quote]
