I wish I had this as ammunition with my son's 2nd grade teacher. She kept referring to his behaviour as "willful and manipulative". She refused to see there was a pattern (her emails proved it) and refused to see a child with a neurological condition. This would have helped so much, since it refutes her, in almost the exact wording she used. Thank you!
It is great that the teacher is providing e-mails! I would use them to identify the antecedent, behavior and consequence. This might shed some light on the why and how and let her in on some accountability to change her behavior to help your son.
