[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 134788, member: 3626"] I'm with Steely. They've decided he's a "bad kid" and treat him accordingly. It is next to impossible for a kid to have any type of chance with that label. My daughter had it. The only way to get around was to totally move her to another school district -- one with some compassion and understanding. One that agreed to give her a chance and not label her before she walked in the door. It didn't keep her in school but it did help in daily battles at school and did help her self-esteem. by the way -- When my daughter was given an extra writing assignment about her behavior, it would go back with her the next undone and note from me saying, "This is a SCHOOL issue. Please see that this paper is done at school, either during recess, lunch or free period. I will not be responsible for her writing this on top of her daily homework. Thank you for your understanding." (Yup, I had this on my computer and ready to print out as necessary.) The school didn't like it but I refused to be put in the middle of forcing my child to write a paper on not listening in class -- writing it down made no difference to her behavior so, why should I engage in an unnecessary battle. They wanted the paper, they could have "fun" forcing her to write it. [/QUOTE]
