Ok, I received a call from the Learning support teacher today. My ds canot attend today, he told her he did not feel like being at school and working (its 86 degrees).
While she was telling me of all the problems she said:
"His homeroom teacher said they were just babysitting"
She joked about the fact that I should homeschool.
She mentioned a project they did weeks ago where he drew a picture in science and labeled it names like "bob" Joe etc.
They are complaining of him "playing" with things in his hands. And 4 years ago when "they" gave him stuff to play with because "they" felt he needed to and encouraged it ( I told them at that time I felt if he got used to playing with someting it would put him in the habit). So then it was ok, now it's a problem.
Its a bad day all and all.
My DS has an IEP which includes writing down his home work - which has not been done in weeks.
We have a May 6th meeting with the school a "transistion" for 6th grade meeting, I feel like I'm being setup. I do have an advocate that I met with yesterday who will be attending.
Calling the principal is usually fruitless, he tells you what you want to hear, but always sides with the teachers.
I just don't appreciate the "babysitting" comment or the laughter at his mistakes.
What would you do?

I would be angry about that too, this is deffenately nothing to make joke´s about. Funny how they will not laugh when they call about our kid´s behaviour 
If calling to proncipal is no use, then I dont know what you should too, except write all this down and collect all the conversation´s you´ve had with school and then you can handle them in when they qyestion something that has been said
