I was a teacher for 15 years and had many special needs children in my

class,children with bipolar, aspergers, autism, downs syndrome, etc.

I find it appalling that the principal did not call you, even after

the fact. That is inexcusable! A parent should be called immediately

when anything out of the ordinary happens. You need to insist on

timely communication. My son's teacher and I e-mail each other

regularly. I know I can contact him at any time just to give him a

heads up on how things are going at home. Meet with the principal and

teacher to create some sort of system for communicating.
