We had a teacher like that in the first grade here -- who came to the IEP meeting complaining that he would rather READ for a reward than watch TV in the class. She was so rattled by a kid like Fin that she wrote a bit of a personal statement about what she saw wrong and whimpered at the meeting "I just don't know what to DO with him!"

This teacher now found ways to give him breaks without him looking like FREAK KID WHO CANT HANDLE CLASS. I am thrilled. Two years running with great teachers. And that's gen ed -- I'm also happy that for Ted he has classes for autism spectrum kids and they do a lot of sensory stuff and accommodations. No adversives, no repetitive craziness, and a decent amount of general ed put in the mix with an aide.

K's school still pisses me off though. Abstinence only education? NO NO NO NO. Im still waiting for them to call me back so I can yell at them. (Well, wag a finger at them.)
