If your principal is behind you that is 1/2 the battle...maybe even 3/4 of the battle.
Do you have an anecdotal on this kid? If so bring it! If not...start writing one ASAP. I have a notebook that I wrte EVERYTHING IN!
After the meeting is over or even during the meeting...write down what happened and what goals or decisions came out of the meeting!
Good Luck!

I've become insane this year about keeping a log of behaviors...I have a kid who is nuts and mom thinks its always the other kids' fault..... the principal behind you is a big plus on your side!

Thanks Girls, Yes, I do have a record of his behavior. Granted it is breif. I just just down things quick. But I have something.
The part when she says mabye I cant handle 23 kids....its amazing...bc he has the same problems he has in my classroom...when he is in the afterschool program. So what is her excuse for him then?

I know what you mean I have a aprent who refuses to believe that their child acts the way they do and believes they are provoked by other children.
Sometimes I wish I could videotape these kids and show their parents that kids act differently when their parents arent around.
In regards to your situation, does your school make you document incidents? If you couldn't handle 23 kids shouldnt you have incidents on file with various other children? You can bring that up as well maybe.
Good luck with your meeting and its great that your principal is on your side

Well this parent is NOT the principal so she does not dictate what you can and cannot handle! Hopefully your principal will speak with confidence about your abilties at the meeting.
DO NOT make this woman get to you!

Just wanted to say that I had a parent like this and it was horrible! To them, all I saw was the negative and that he just wanted my attention. His behavior was noticed by EVERYONE and it was not just in my class. Believe me, when June was over, I couldn't have been happier.
So, to you and just keep doing what you are doing. Some parents forget that THEY gave birth to these children, NOT you.
