Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 OMG, I am absolutely stunned...what an IDIOT how could he have done something so insanly stupid? Thank goodness no harm came to him, but this guy needs to be fired, what a fool. In the UK an escort has to travel with all children who have special needs so that kind of thing never happens.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 oh (((amy))) - these things should not happen!! rowan, also a runner, had a similar incident a couple of months ago - let off the bus without an aide present and caught running out of the school yard by a teacher. his regular aide was off sick and the fill in thought " meeting the bus " meant standing in the warm porch of the school chatting with other teachers and aides and watching for rowan to come in. it is now in rowan's IEP that he be met at the door of the bus and the bus company is not allowed to let rowan off the bus unless his aide is waiting at the door of the bus. the only silver lining thing i can say about this sort of incident is that i think it is a real heads up for the school and they will hopefully take this very seriously. this is the sort of incident teachers and principals have nightmares about - hopefully this close call and the " what ifs " that go along with it will ensure kep gets the attention he requires and deserves. take care, michelle mg I need to hurt someone Today was Kep's first day at the new school. He is now attending an AI (autistic impaired) classroom at a regular elementary in the mornings and going back to his other school in the afternoons. Anyways, first day and he has a substitute bus driver. No problem, right? Wrong. This guy had no idea that Kep was to be met at the bus by his aide, so he just let Kep get off! Thank god we had toured the school before and Kep became obsessed with the library. He went and harassed the librarian for awhile and then she finally got Kep's teacher. It didn't take her very long to figure out which class Kep belonged in. Needless to say, the rest of the morning was a wash for Kep. I'm waiting to hear how the transition went. I guess I'll be calling the bus dept again. They are starting to really dislike me. Oh well, I really dislike what happened today. You guys know that Kep is a runner. I can't even think about the posibilities. I just can't. I had a long discussion with his teacher this morning, and this definitely will NOT happen again. Crap. I was worried enough about this transition. <sigh> Amy H--in Michigan Kepler 5 ASD and Bethany 7 NT " Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 UGH! Here, I'll hold them for you. Good grief. Glad that Kep was okay and made his way to the library. I was going to call you some days back, but I can't find your number since decided it did not need to be where I had placed it, and now I have no voice for however long. Sigh. Anyway, the point I was not getting to is that I've been thinking of you and wondering how you all were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 > > This is why I drop off to school. I just don't trust anyone enough. > I'm glad Kep got there safely. I think that is a nightmare we all have. > I dropped Putter off for three years. Now, at almost seven, he is riding the bus. But Putter is not a runner. If he were let off the bus on his own, I imagine that he would go on his own to his classroom and follow his normal Putter pattern.
