[QUOTE="jannie, post: 14152, member: 2074"] Just my 2 cents-- You've been struggling with difficult child for a very long time. Over the year(s) have you found anything that has been really effective? Have you felt as though things were really improving and things were starting to look up? I'm not sure what the answer is...I don't think moving a child mid-year is a good thing...however perhaps it would give you a chance to see how he does in a smaller self-contained setting during elementary school as oppopsed to middle school. Do you feel like the school has done a terrible job? Do you feel that he has better self-control at home than at school? Something has to change. He is getting older --You are still struggling with him--struggling with medications--struggling with behavior--struggling with academics (I think I've read that) Do you know anything about the program they are recommending? I think I would observe the class. and set up a meeting with the principal. Even if you decide not to move him, you will have more information. What are the recommendations for middle school? Maybe you should let him finsh out the year and consider a new placement for middle school. If the program is good I would consider it because all too often I hear aobut middle school kids with behavior/emotional issues that were not properly dealt with...which does not help the struggling difficult child.. Sending hugs--I feel your pain--You are an awesome mom !!! [img]:warrior:[/img] Good luck with a really challenging decision. by the way--Have you thought about hiring an eductional consultant? Are there any private schools to consider that may be a better fit for your child? [/QUOTE]
