[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 299655, member: 805"] Shari, I have a couple observations and I hope I don't step on your toes a little. I think you have to be really careful what you are saying in front of your son. He doesn't really need to know all the dirty details about what is going on at school. I would not share with him anything negative about the school - don't let him overhear you discussing your displeasure. He is going to feel your angst, your anxiety, your frustration and that's going to translate to anxiety for him which is in turn going to result in a short frustration fuse. I think I would have sent him for a half day the first day since you knew the para was consistant for those hours. It might have been a small, good start and not made him feel he was bad. Obviously, you need to do what you feel is right for him - whether its keeping him home, modified day, etc. I think your little guy is feeling that anxiety which never bodes well for school success. Does he have a therapist that he talks with? I know that really helped my son talk things out when he was younger and having behavior/frustration/anxiety issues in school. Sorry the school is impeding your son's education. I can't remember whether you have checked into an education advocate yet. It might be time to go seek some outside help. Hugs. Sharon [/QUOTE]
