I think I missed the first thread on this topic. I must say that

cartoons tend to calm my kids. My oldest will only watch Carton

Network though. Not my favorite. And now my 3 yro wants to be just

like big brother. We went from PBS to Cartoon Network.

Um Terry, I would document what was said to you by the principal and file a

complaint with the state department of education. Make sure the superintendant

and director of special education get copies. As far as enforcing the IEP,

it sounds like they should be doing a FBA (Functional Behavior Assessment) on

your son. That way consistent strategies are used for the negative behaviors.

They cannot legally request you to take your son home for those reasons.

Request one in writing. Pam
