[QUOTE="Christy, post: 300125, member: 225"] Shari, This is a really crummy situation. It sounds like the iep is questionable. You could spend time getting an advocate, fighting the school system, etc.. but in will take time and in my opinion as a teacher and a mom of a difficult child, you can't afford the time it takes to fight. Your difficult child is at a critical age for learning to read. You mentioned in another post that dyslexia is a possibility so he is going to need instruction tailored to his needs. It sounds as if his behaviors and the school's inability to handle them is making it impossible for him to learn. In addition, he is developing self-esteem issues and feels like he can't be good (and in the situation, he probably can't). I was in this same place two years ago and I elected to homeschool rather than fight with the school. It just takes too long and difficult child needed to be taught. It cost me my job but I gainned so much more. After I felt that difficult child had a better handle on things academically, I went back to the school with an advovate and fought for the best education I could get for difficult child. His first year back at school was his best school year so far. It's absolutely not fair, and difficult child is entitled to FAPE. But you know what is best for your son and if it's financially possible, homeschool him. (((hugs)))) Christy [/QUOTE]
