[QUOTE="Bean, post: 327406, member: 8620"] Hi Magi, welcome. I'm new here, too. Are there issues at home that are troubling as well? Like he can't sit still, fidgety, trouble sleeping, violent, drug use -- anything like that? Both incidents you listed to me seem pretty benign. I mean, no, they aren't desired and they are a PITB to deal with. But 30 years ago they would have been a smack on the back of the head and a trip to the Principal's office to sit in a chair (the finger waggle). Now they are practically a sex offender for something like that. I don't agree with it, personally. Bigger fish to fry. I have a son who I consider pretty darn normal who gets goofy at school and does some silly things, but they certainly don't rise to the level of Phone Call Emergencies that the school treats them as. I don't know if he goes to a public school, but we live in a rather large city and I don't want to spend much time in those schools and KNOW there's no way I could handle being in one. They are out of control. But sometimes I think they focus on those littler things because of "no tolerance" - and forget about the bigger issues. Anyway, that's just my little rant on schools. :) I know it isn't fun to get those phone calls, and can sympathize with you on that. How are his grades? Is he skipping? Is he generally a pleasurable kid to be around, or are you struggling at home? (Kind of sounds like you are) [/QUOTE]
