[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 83278"] I slept for 3 hours. husband arrived home with difficult child about 5 minutes after school's release. Usually takes him 15 minutes to get to the car. The reason: HE DIDN'T ATTEND ANY CLASS. Principal made him sit in the office the entire day!!!! she did not call me like she said. So, I called her. She said my emergency card said I worked noon to midnight. NOT..I know my schedule. Anyway, she said he stayed busy with missing work. I was extremely upset that he didn't go to class. She said he was quiet and respectful and worked hard in the office. Progress reports came home 5 F's and a B. All do to missing work. They say "missing - F" I immediately jumped on the computer and emailed each one of these teachers. He was absent - excused Monday and Tuesday (Dr. appointments most of the day) These dates should not read missing, rather absent. Then they are not figured into the cumulative grade. He is given time to make them up without reduction in points. He did have some that were missing/late. She would not approve me observing class. She said she is not sure what my "motive" is. I emailed her again tonight telling her that I need to be aware of what difficult child is doing. I understand that the teacher, difficult child and probably other students would act different if I were there. I do not know if difficult child is in control of himself or not. If he is not in control then these things would happen whether I was there or not. And I need to see these things so I can relate the information to the psychologist/psychiatrist. We cannot help difficult child unless we know what is happening. I may be able to see things the teacher does not. And believe me..having me there is his worst nightmare. That is my "motive". I did call SD. Ofcourse superintendents secretary was not in. They will leave a message for a return call. I spent 5 hours tonight trying to figure out difficult child's math (multi step algebra) and trying to teach him how to do it. We were both tired and both frustrated. He doesn't get it. He struggled through, but I do not think he understands and this will not help on tests or other assignments. now if he were IN class, maybe he would LEARN how. When I left for work at 11pm, I have slept 3 hours in the past two days. difficult child was still up struggling through work. I am so tempted to just let him stay home tomorrow. Part of me wants him to just sleep and rest. The other part doesn't want him to miss school. But he is exhausted and I am afraid he might be frustrated and get in trouble. Then again he has two chapter tests tomorrow, (today). on the other hand, would he be doing his best if he is not rested? Totally confused [/QUOTE]
