[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 108550, member: 45"] I don't punish my difficult child at home for what happens at school. We talk about it, but he's not punished. If he gets suspended he gets to do schoolwork or read. Nothing else because he wouldn't get to do it at school. At every IEP meeting I tell them that I consider a suspension a failure on the part of his BIP and IEP. difficult child is at fault because he made the bad choices, be we need to come up with ways to help him not get to that point again. Usually I request an IEP meeting so we can talk about what to do to prevent suspension next time. After a few of these meetings, they finally became much more proactive and his suspension went down (or maybe they avoided suspensions because they didn't want to meet with me again!). Does your difficult child have an IEP? If so, I'd request a meeting every time they suspend him, because the IEP isn't working if he has to miss out on school as a result of his disorder. If he doesn't have an IEP, this is a good argument to convince them he needs one. [/QUOTE]
