[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 698657, member: 20727"] Thanks for the reply's everyone! Its still mind boggling to me that this sweet loving little boy that I see is acting like the monster child they are describing to me.The choice to keep him home or send him to school everyday is becoming more difficult for me. Public schools are a one size fits all solution for a very basic education. They are driven by leaders that are only out for high test scores and leave little time or resources for anything to be individualized. I know kids with disabilities have rights and all that but really why should I have to fight for them? Why wouldn't the very people that are experts in their field and in charge of 1000s of children's educations not want to make sure every child is successful and happy. I would of thought that these people went in to this line of work because they actually cared about ALL the children. I did keep him home today instead of sending him to school for in school suspension all day. I refuse to send him to a place where he will be punished for mistakes he made the day before. I have made it very clear to the school that we start each day fresh and do NOT hold a grudge. Kids with these issues need disciplined consistently and immediately for there to be any effect. There is no point in setting him out for a miserable day. He has the rest of his adult life to be miserable doing grown up things he doesn't want to do with people he probably doesn't like because he has to. Id rather him not have to deal with that at 6 years old. Its been only 2 weeks into this school year and already I'm exhausted with people telling me I need to "fix" my son. I am perfectly happy with him exactly as he is and have no desire to change him in anyway.
