[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 22676, member: 1631"] Thank you for all of your replies. Fran-I agree that 2 1/2 days seems like a long time-especially in our district where they really try to keep suspensions to a minimum. I'm not sure my difficult child will make any real connection-when he is angry he isn't thinking "I might get suspended". Janine-Wouldn't we be rich if we could teach them self-control? Linda, Sharon, Janna, Janet & Kris-Our district really doesn't offer any type of theraputic school. There is one program that has the kids in school 1/2 day and working at a different site on behavior issues the other half day-it may be something we need to look at. Needabreak-They do have an in-school suspension but he had been warned about out of school suspension would be the next thing to happen. I agree it punishes the parent more than the child-I'm not sure how much difficult child got out of being home even though I made him do work the equivelant of the school day. Smallworld-Thanks for the hugs. Marguerite-I agree it was wrong to kick the wheel chair-I'm just not sure he deserves such a long suspension. He can be quite edgy and agressive but this particular person and difficult child have a major personality conflict. The frustrating part is I think so much of this is tied to the one person he is working with. I know it doesn't excuse it but the BIP isn't followed consistently and when I asked difficult child this morning about what happened he said, the teacher knows I hate when she touches me but she touched me anyways. I need to find another copy of his BIP because I believe it says in there when he is agitated not to touch him. Believe me I'm not excusing him or making light of it-other people that are at the school think there is no way she should be working with difficult child yet it continues... I had difficult child working hard all day. He kept saying well at school I get free choice-my reply-yep and if you weren't suspended you would be at school getting your free time. Him-at school I get blah, blah, blah, my reply-yep and if you weren't suspended you would be at school getting your blah blah blah. He had to to help clean and do writing, math, social studies, and reading. He didn't get a choice in what he wanted for lunch. I'm exhausted and will get to do it all over again tomorrow. I tried to make it unpleasant and he did get very frustrated at points and yet at one point he told me he enjoyed the day-there was no tv, no games, nothing. That's one reason for difficult child suspension isn't necessarily a great thing-he adapts fairly well to situations. Again thanks for all of your replies-I appreciate them all. [/QUOTE]
