(A place for delinquent children) I am trying to keep him off the streets and in school, and she is trying to put him in an unproductive place. He was doing well in my class. Oh it makes me so mad!!!!

I'm really glad you vented. That is an excruciating situation, I've been there, not as a teacher but as a worker for the mentally handicapped. Some of the attitudes just chilled me, and yet it's so hard to fight it.
A worker would say "She's been totally (insert pc word for horrible) today so I'm not letting her have hotdogs at dinner."
And I'd think,
"Well, how would you feel if you had people coming in and out of your home, telling you what to do, and you have no comprehension of why you have to do it.. you just do, someone barges into your bedroom to tell you that it's time to go out, but you don't want to, but the paperwork says we have to go out..'"
You don't even have the words to say "I'd like some more salt on that, or my back is itchy"
Think about it! Would you be in a great mood?You sound so cool Lynn, teachers like you are the ones kids remember forever.
I actually have more to say, but I'll be kind and stop here. :)
