[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 609814, member: 15910"] I'm pretty sure I did sign something taking responsibility for it, MWM. And Confused, you are right, he won't do chores when asked. It doesn't help that I'm working away from home 10 hours a day so am not around to supervise him. I live in daily fear I will have to quit my job to monitor difficult child. And right now, we don't have another income. How could this happen when things have been going so well? What am I missing? I think I am sadly going to have to insist a plan (504 if that's all that I can get) is written to ensure he has an alternate way to do his school work. It's going to alienate him further from his classmates though (poor kid has no friends) but he has proven more than once he is not mature enough to be trusted with this device. (and funny thing is, in our district they use these from K on up. It's supposedly "great" and other districts look up to us for being technology innovators. From 3rd grade on up they are allowed to take them home daily) The only positive thing I can see coming from this is he won't be able to hole up after school watching Minecraft videos on YouTube. (yes my DF lets him do this) He will probably be kicked off Knowledge Bowl too, just when I thought maybe he had found a niche. [/QUOTE]
