    What will I learn?

    In this free class, you'll learn how to:
    ​

    βœ” Understand what explosive behavior at school is usually communicating, and why "consequences" rarely fix it​
    ​
    ​
    βœ” Know your child's rights when behavior becomes the reason they're being removed, shortened, or sent home​
    ​

    βœ” Tell the difference between an FBA and a BIP, and know which one to request and when​
    ​

    βœ” Spot informal removals and shortened days for what they are, and what to do the first time it happens​
    ​

    βœ” Put your request in writing so the school has to respond, not just listen

    ​
    βœ” Respond when the school says "we've tried everything" or "it's a home issue"

    ​
    This isn't about going to war with your child's school. It's about knowing what you're entitled to ask for, so the next call home leads to a plan instead of another apology.
