They can not kick him out without going through the proper procedures - which includes several suspensions etc. And the least you should do about the teacher is write a letter of complaint and have it put in his file. It is possible for teachers to get fired (I am a teacher in Ca.) and if there are enough of them, when the teacher goes through thier anual review - it will be important.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334958453212240945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12164738.post-1159796080810370462006-10-02T06:34:00.000-07:002006-10-02T06:34:00.000-07:001. no you can't get him fired for that, and you sh...1. no you can't get him fired for that, and you shouldn't be trying. Because if you want to accomplish #2, keeping your kid at that school, you'll make the rest of the people there not want to work with you or your child. You probably have some rights under one of the education titles, I'm not familiar with which one. So, I suggest you do some homework, march back up there, tell them you expect to be a partner with them as an entity and as individuals in working with your kid, and start getting that done. You'll need to be his advocate and being his advocate means being firm but polite, setting reasonable goals and seeking personal credibility so you create opportunities to make advances for your child, so you make people want to help him. Trying to get someone fired isn't in any of those categories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12164738.post-1159795963161685212006-10-02T06:32:00.000-07:002006-10-02T06:32:00.000-07:00Dear GOD man, get an advocate.

You son's rights have been violated 18 different ways.<BR/><BR/>In my area there is a group of legal eagles set up to be an education advocacy task force, to help parents like us, without paying $400 per hour for legal fees. You need to find them in your area. And no, the school district will never, never tell you who they are or that they exhist --- but your pediatrician or the children's hospital will.<BR/><BR/>Document everything. Every converstaion. Make a timeline. Keep an ongoing journal of who said what, when, and get names and dates and titles. It's hard work, but not harder than blogging. That way your lawyers have something concrete to go on, becaseu there need to be letters sent to your state's Department of Educational Compliance. Especially about that teacher. They are breaking the law, but the only way it gets fixed is if you report them - and telling the principal is NOT reporting anyone. It dies there. Nothing counts if it isn't 1) in writing, 2) copied all the way up the food chain and 3) involving other parents and the 6 o'clock news.<BR/><BR/>Good luck -I'min the same boat and I wish I could crack skulls.Cinnamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05543995331864898424noreply@blogger.com
