Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Dear Eileen I keep thinking about this! Why dont you a) go to the papers Ask the head teacher if she would mind signing a transcript of your converstaion for your lawyer to have a look through because you reckon the cold water incident is abuse (I have done this to our Ed Psych before)! And of course that type of placement would be unsuitable for your child. Also the fact that she has abused the confidence of the other parent the paediatrician! Wouldnt probably be too difficult to find out who that is! It would give you a chuckle if nothing else and scare the S*** out of her! Worth a shot, but perhaps you could trade this information with the LEA, instaed of getting this head teacher sacked you will just have the funding for s Home Ed thank you very much! Lotsa Love Thinking about you Caroline xxx My LEA named our school today for Jay (not what we want, want the home program). We ought to be grateful because they recommended an independent school but its an hour and a quarter each way in a taxi with 3 other autistic kids with no escort. I went through the motions of talking to the head and we touched on behaviour policy. She told me about a parent (a paediatrician) who had a 6 yo (a paediatrician) whose child was experiencing far too many meltdowns and so had authorised them to use a glass of cold water just once if she did it at school because that is what they did at home and it worked.I decided right there and then my kid was never going to set foot in there. I felt the tears well up and I went indoors at the end of the conversation and I cried my eyes out. If I hadn't had to be so careful and play the statementing game I would have given her the dressing down of a lifetime. I felt it was such an inappropriate thing to say to a prospective parent. It wasn't so much the measure but the Head. What a terrible attitude. She was practically gloating! For serious self-injury maybe this might be necessary (but even that is still questionable). Quote
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Hi Caroline I DEFINITELY am going to do something with this info. I keep thinking about it too and everytime I do I just Shudder. God bless you for thinking of us, I'm glad someone is! I was thinking of doing a Grace off Big Brother, waltzing in the school, throwing a glass of water in her face and say, " Now you know what it feels like!
