[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474081, member: 12886"] Oh my gosh, I hate those days when you get all happy for a second and the rug gets pulled out. I do in school at times for a different reason. The change of routine for my difficult child is so unthinkable to him that even if he is miserable there we get a room to ourselves and I am even willing to stay there. He is not reinforced by beng home (but that may be changing as he gets older? will monitor) but I think it is better to have work to do in an in-school suspension. I would actually think something more proactive should happen along with it...to learn about the culture, write a little essay (or whatever level of report he can write) so he can understand some of the real life issues. We dont want our kids to be bullies, they have enough issues so a consequence is in order, just make it one that doesn't reinforce being naughty like getting a vacation day at home does! I am sorry, hope he can learn a lesson. What are your rules when he has to be at home? If difficult child is home for "behavior" reasons i always tell him (even if I am not agreeing with admin on it, I support them so he doesn't get to think he can divide and conquer) he is having an "unplugged" day IN the house. he can sit on the porch and "rock" if it helps him calm.
