Keep doing what you're doing and continue to be even tempered and patient. But you should also know what you're fighting for and whether or not what they have to offer will solve your son's educational needs, KWIM?

I agree that you have to be polite and respectful. However, some school personnel interpret disagreement with any aspect of how they educate as disrespectful. It really helped me when I just accepted that there will be people who get angry with me because I'm disagreeing with them. ((shrug)) You just can't control how teachers and administrators will react, no matter how tactful and positive you try to be.
