[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 103800, member: 3704"] Kjs, I really feel for both you and difficult child. Real life situations cause reality based depression. It is an appropriate response at times. It sounds like difficult child is taking action to improve his situation and I think that he is doing it in a very mature way. I know that you are proud of that! Yet, I am not surprised that he is frustrated and feeling very, very down about the situation. Both of my sons have been in situations where they were not treated fairly at school. Teachers are individuals and some of them, to my amazement, just don't get the fact that they sometimes become biased against their students! Scapegoating can become a viscious cycle , it perpetuates itself. I personally have noticed that sometimes younger teachers who are in their first years of teaching can fall prey to this problem. More experienced teachers seem to know how to avoid it. I truly personally understand difficult child's desire for parity. It was a passion for me when I was younger. It took many hard knocks and years of perspective for me to finally "accept" the fact that there is precious little parity in life. I hope that he can take this passion and later transform it into some type of career for himself. I don't think that fighting for justice will ever go out of style. Gentle hugs for you both...
