How can I prevent a special circumstance aide?
OK, I am a freshman in high school. I was the most desruptive student in Spanish class. The teacher requested I have my aide back (WHICH GOT CANCELLED THIS YEAR) and told it to all the other teachers. One, my Algebra 2 teacher, an probably my English teacher, agreed. However, I complained to the principal about the teacher being unfair to me, and I believe I was wrong. Now, there is a question whether I will have the aide back or not.
P.S. I was once in a special ed school Mardan, and my parents recently asked to have speech (social skills) removed.
Now, what can I do to prevent my aide from returning? What will probably happen in my situation???
Are there any teachers/principals who know what I can do or say so that I WON'T get the aide??? What can actually work?
Update:What do you reccomend I do and what can happen?

I've been a para (aide) for 20 years, plus 3 of my four kids have had them. What you need to realize it that you have dug yourself a hole that will take time to get out of. It is highly unlikely that you, or your parents, will be able to convince the school not to assign an aide to you.
What you CAN do:
Realize that your behavior and choices will result in a consequence. This can be good or bad, but in the end you are deciding what you want to happen to you based on the behavior you show.
Advocate for yourself. Your old enough now to recognize when: the work is too much and you need help, you need a break to deal w/ sensory issues, being antsy, or just some time to decompress; schedule: make a time frame plan with your case manager to incorporate breaks, or time w/ preferred activities that can manage behaviors and reward you for good choices.
Acting out: why are you doing this? (again, I don't know if there is a diagnose/disability or if you just have trouble containing yourself). Request time w/staff social worker to work on this. Adding back social/life skills seems like something I wouold want you to have on your IEP. If you're acting up, something isn't working.
Responsibility: I know this isn't what you really want to hear, but as a para and a parent it's time to "suck it up". If you have support but refuse to utilize it, it's not a disability or medication issue, and you obviously know the consequences: what did you expect? Your right to do what you want and be a goof off ends when you CHOOSE to do something that interfers with teaching and other's learning. As I told my son, if you DON'T want to end up exclusively in spec ed next term you need to sit down, act appropriately, and turn off the mouth. This is school--save the comedy channel routine for lunch and after school.
If you work at turning this around, in a month or so, your parents can request a review w/ you in attendance. If you've gotten your act together, the aide may be phased out again. It's all up to you, though. Best of luck, thinking of you!
Play like you completely changed and you matured, learned a lesson, and will be good.
Seriously, being disruptive in class doesn't make you cool, or make your dick bigger.
Just chill and be like everyone else.
