Kids should be able to eat!!!

Ok. so I'm mad as hell at my son's school why? because as of Monday I presume his snack time was taken away..okay wait before you say isn't he a little old for snack let me tell you the circumstances and please read my above article from middle schoolers who admit they sneak food in the bathrooms bceause they are hungry..My son goes to a school who does I repeat does not have a cafeteria!! There is a elementary school right beside his that does so..This is what happens after the other school's students eat lunch (the whole school) then my son's school can eat lunch..He has a late lunch by their defination 6th period yes people he eats at 6th period.My son gets up at 6 0'clock in the morning and he is expected to go without a snack for close to 6 hours!!! Yes I give him a little something for breakfast but he like alot of children out there is not a morning eater..All of this started because she decided I want to wean the children from snack and get them ready for Middle school..Hmm.. first of all the middle school will not be like this because they have their own cafeteria and he will eat lunch at a reasonable hour. He will not have to wait for another school to eat lunch before his own school..Cheap asses build a damn cafeteria if not then let my son and the rest of the children have a snack.. Even paid workers by federal law have to give 2 15 min breaks and a lunch..my son cannot even get less than 2 min.. Children have fast metabolisms & high energy needs...They need snacks...Sometimes children get tired and have behavior issues because they are irritable..I know if I go a long time without eating I get Hangry..You know ANGRY WHEN U ARE HUNGRY>>Let's face it kids are still growing and need snacks..They tend not to eat a whole lot at one sitting so they need snack breaks..at least one is suffient...If you talk to a nutritionist even a personal trainer will telll you eating small meals through the day is the healthiest way to eat..I know when I used to be in high school and went to a trade school..We were allowed to eat a break around the middle of the morning..So just because my son is in middle school which he really isn't yet but they group him as such he has no rights..less than 2 min..my son is underweight for his age, he doesn't eat much, and he is sometimes a picky eater unless he is at his grandma's and he eats everything LOL..Just because we think older children shouldn't have a problem with not eating..THEY DO!!THEY ARE EXPECTED TO SIT FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME, CONCENTRATE, THEY ARE GROWING...IF A CHILD ASKS A TEACHER CAN THEY HAVE SNACK LET THEM EAT..i'M SURE THE HIGH SCHOOLERS HAVE A OPPORTUNITY TO EAT A SNACK BEFORE CLASSES. If U even want to say only health snacks hey I'm for that!!!just let them eat!!

What I will say to my my son's vice principal/principal when he goes back to school

Devin will be going to after school detention but before I sign the paper I have some objections that I feel I must voice.

First of all I believe the school was wrong to take 3 regular children's opinion and use that to say Devin is guilty. First of all Do they(the regular children) know Devin has Asperger's? Noone can possibly know what my son was thinking or what his intentions were.Asperger's children think differently than you and I. It could have been a accident which you presume it could not have been or it could have been in a rage cycle. This means a Aspergers child acts impulsively because the stimuli such as noise becomes too much.. You do not take a regular child's version over my son's and condemn him. This is what I feel U have done. Just because one day Devin doesn't have a problem with the noise doesn't mean the next day he can't have one.

How much do you know about Asperger's? Can U say with certainty U know how to deal with a Asperger's child? I as a parent am not convinced you do.. Do U realize what my child with AS goes through everyday. If U did than You would know DAILY and I mean daily breaks(quiettime) are a must!!

School is doubly stressful for a child with AS they have sensitivites to light, sound and throw in they have to be in constant social situations..

I feel this situation was handled in a wrong way and I never ever want to read three children said Devin did it on purpose again. I will not EVER take someone else's opinion over my child..DO not even write it down..I did try to explain to Devin that he should apologize when it's a accident especially when it's a accident. I am still not sure he understands this..To him it was a accident and U do not need to apologize. He thinks about this differently than U and I. I'm trying to figure out how U think this punishment will get him to think differently when to him he thinks he did no wrong. It will not change the way he thinks because me and my hubbie have tried.

As a parent I feel sometimes my hands are tied when it comes to public school. You (teachers, etc) do not try to understand Devin, U don't not care why he does the things he does..To you it is just he is not behaving like a regular student he must be punished..To you it is very simple I will write down everything he does wrong not wanting to know why...Because of this I feel U are failing my son..He deserves better ..He deserves teachers,principals vice principals who are knowledgeable on what Aspergers is..Will see that his behaviors might mean something and will immediately take steps to figure out what it could be.

I read this on the internet All behavior is a form of communication...we can't possibly hope to understand the message a AS child is trying to say unless we have all the facts. I want to know what Devin is trying to say..I want Devin to be successful in school...I want to come up with ideas that might be helpful..We have to meet Devin where he is.. Now even though I do not approve of this and how this was handled I will the sign paper now. I have spoken my feelings and hopefully I have opened your eyes that things could have been handled differently and maybe you understand more what having aspergers means...
