[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 347776, member: 3444"] Like KJsMama said, they may not do anything beyond the suspension if he's never had problems like this before. My difficult child 2 got a similar suspension in 5th grade for bringing a knife to school and making a threatening remark to a kid who'd been bullying him. I immediately took him go see his therapist that day (or might have been the next while he was suspended). I also contacted the psychiatrist. I wanted there to be no doubt about our desire to be proactive as parents. The school called in the crisis intervention counselors and we had a big come-to-Jesus meeting to discuss why it happened. They heard me speak, they heard what I had to relay from the psychiatrist and therapist - I gave them permission to speak to them about the situation. We were able to thoroughly explore the whole bullying issue as well. It was finally concluded that the knife was not brought with any premeditation (it was a gadget knife that he was using the magnifying glass to look at rocks and was showing other kids the rocks), and the threatening remark came about because of the bullying. They decided to implement an anti-bullying program at the school and agreed to evaluate difficult child 2 for an IEP (he only had a 504 at the time) and got him into a social skills class (which I'd been asking for over the past two years). So in the end, it was the catalyst for a lot of change in a lot of positive ways. I hope that's the case for your difficult child. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
