You know, Kathy, come to think of it, Austin got in trouble for

something minor last year at school, and his sped teacher put him on

a chair BEHIND the story group, facing their backs, he could still

see the story, the other kids couldn't see him. Austin thought that

they had put him on a stage, and he put on a great show. So much for

the concept of time out for him. All of the kids turned around to

watch him, and the teachers finally gave up and laughed. Later, they

told me, and said that they knew laughing and giving in to him was

wrong, but he is " So comical and cute " . Well, I have that same

problem at home.

It was the only time he got in trouble last year, and his teacher

thought so much of him, that when she gave birth last summer, she

named her son Austin, in honor of my son. I thought that was

touching. I know he was in good hands with her. We still see her,

and she goes on field trips with him in this class. She doesn't have

to, but she truly enjoys his company. See, I know there are some

good teachers out there, just few and far between!
