[QUOTE="klmno, post: 318165, member: 3699"] Well, manipulation or not it sounds to me like you have gotten into a mode of a "battle of wits". My suggestion is to forget that and remember the objective- which is for him to get thru school as successfully as possible. I think if it was me, I'd put him back in public school. I haven't tried having my son in private school- I probably would have if I could've afforded it. But, it probably would have had these results and I've heard that difficult child's don't always do so well in private school. If the only reason that you don't want to switch him to public school is that you don't want him to "win", my recommendation is to hang up that fight- it's his life and his education after all. But that's just my 2 cents. This wouldn't be the battle I would choose. ETA: I think that probably came across a lot harsher than I meant it. I do understand you being frustrated and know how easy it is sometimes to feel the need to let our kids know what they MUST do. I just don't see any way you can win this one- and I think it might have gotten into a battle or isn't meeting his needs and the focus is no longer on the overall objective- which is his education.
