Thanks, I wrote that late last night and am horrified by my mistakes. You understood me well, though, and I appreciate your response. I am definitely looking into home schooling at least the rest of this school year. I had him transfer to that school because they HAD a good reputation. Many of them are new to teaching in the SPED dept., and although I'm compassionate to that (you got to start somewhere), this is my son. They could have reached out to the district, but I'm guessing they were hoping it would work itself out... but it didn't. Will I be able to re-enroll in him in the fall to our zoned school after pulling him out? Anything is better than the cartoons and coloring sheets he has been doing at his current school. Yes, you heard me right. This has been a not-so-good first year of high school. I feel I had a successful IEP (to determine standardized testing, not annual) with the help of an advocate and the information from you website. I was able to ask to them what they had planned differently to accommodate him after spring break, but they said they had nothing and asked ME for suggestions! And they DID try to gaslight me... apparently I am to blame for keeping him home after a meltdown, but they had nothing in place to make sure it wouldn't happen the next day. I'm not dropping my kid off for more of the same. That's why I can't take him back. I will checkout your info on homeschooling. I am able to do it right now, but he likes going to school so I will need to find one that is knowledgeable and better equipped for his needs. I wish I could afford a private school. Thanks again
