[QUOTE="sosotired, post: 432771, member: 7045"] A few points of clarification: I already have a buyer for the house and there's really nothing to disclose, these were other kids my son's age that he's had past issues with, not a "neighborhood" thing and the buyers have grown children. We have a closing date in 5 weeks so unless they can't get approved for the loan, which is unlikely, we're out of here. Regardless, we will be leaving as soon as I can get the house sold and I am willing, due to these issues, to do whatever it takes to find a buyer. Son does have an IEP and it's a joke. He's supposed to make XX% progress in areas throughout the year, most of which are not measureable. Every quarter I get the same thing "He's making progress" ... sometimes simply just those words and nothing to support it. When he's had issues with other kids, they've handled it poorly. Just last week, another student opened the end of his permament marker and emptied the contents onto my sons shorts. The week before that another boy put hand sanitizer in his food. I did take pictures however it isn't terribly noticeable. The swelling has gone down, he has some bruising and a scratch in his hairline and on his neck but you can't see it terribly well in the pictures. The school is obviously taking the stand that my son was as culpable as the other child because he was being "irritating". This is the piece, if anything, I'd like to address. If a car cuts me off, even repeatedly in traffic, I cannot follow them, pull them out of the car and punch them repeatedly in the head. I understand he needs to address his behavior, and this is why he's been in social skills classes and been seeing a therapist for multiple years. How does it make it OK to punish each child equally. Again, 1.5 weeks of school left, he's suspended for 1 week of that. I really don't even know where I'll find the time to fight this with the school considering all the packing we need to do. My biggest fear is the stance the new school will take seeing his official files from this mess of a middle school. [/QUOTE]
