[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 744704, member: 1233"] My youngest got ISS once. I told the assistant principal that it would be the wrong punishment and not to come looking to me for solutions when it backfired. Youngest LOVED it. No other students talking or bothering him, he got a week's worth of work done in under 1 day and could read after that. If a student behaves in ISS (usually given for a week here if they give it), they are sent back to class sometime on Wednesday. When they gave my youngest the option to go back to class, he said "No, thanks" and went right back to his book. Of course the idiot assistant principal called me to see what to do then. I laughed at him and told him that it wasn't my problem, it was his. Of course we all understood that the only reason my son attacked the other kid is because the ohter kid bullied him for MONTHS up to that point. No one ever bullied him again in school after that. They were a touch afraid of his temper. As for the charges, don't admit ANYTHING to the school. Be aware that if they are dragging their feet on the IEP, your son STILL has the protections of the IEP. If the behavior is a manifestation of the problems that got him evaluated, the school CANNOT punish him. Pressing charges is part of punishing him, so a good lawyer may argue that the school is not legally allowed to press charges against him. I know this worked in a local court for another student in our district. Check into your son's rights with the IEP and vigorously defend them. Even the change in placement from the regular school to ISS and tehn to the alternative school should NOT be happening without an IEP meeting. If they are still evaluating, then that should put ALL of this on hold. Your son has rights, though TX schools are notorious for walking all over them if parents don't fight them tooth and nail.
