Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 My son is 7 now and last year when he was in kindergarten(sp?) he had a helper with him all day. He responded fine the first half of the year. towards the end he was miserable. In his IEP plan they wanted to mainstream him again accept they had a new class this year. It is called FALS( I honestly could not tell you what the letters stand for). It is a special education program where there are three teachers in the room and about 7 or 8 other children coming in and out throughout the day. (my baby boy) stays in there all day. He does so much better and I don't have to worry about him disrupting the other children on one of his " bad " days. I f you want to know more let me know . We are from TX. My understanding is that you have the right to disagree with the school on his placement. At least here you do. TTYL April agniesika <agniesika@...> wrote: Hello to all.

Now they want to mainstream him with all the other kids. He has trouble in a class of nine how will he deal in a class of 25-30. Also it was suggested that he have an aid at all times to help him and quoting the perspective teacher exactly " I have taught kindergarden for 23 years I don't need someone coming in now to tell me how to handle my job " How do they expect me to send him to a school with a teacher with that attitude before he even gets there. I am at a loss for what to do about it. I am thinking of homeschooling Leroy any ideas?????????? --------------------------------- Food fight?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Refuse to mainstream. Call a team meeting and tell them in no uncertain terms that they will be setting your son up for failure in such a large classroom setting and you have no intention of doing that. Better yet, write them a letter stating this and cc their supervisors, the superintendant, your congresspeople, and a random attorney friend (clearly marked Esquire after said random attorney friend's name).

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I definitely would not let him be assigned to that teacher. Also, get training for anyone working with your son into the IEP.
