[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 390257, member: 1550"] I would request (in writing and to the Special Education Director as well as the Principal) an IEP. If he is flunking most of his classes, and it's not because of drugs, then the school has an obligation to intervene and help him succeed if he is tested and requires special accommodations. in my opinion talking to the counselor is a waste of time in the longrun. Your son probably needs help and the counselor can't do much about it. Only the testing can. A lot of times kids don't do work because they don't understand it. This is what I'd do first as we've never had much luck with policing. Without an IEP, there are too many kids and the teachers really don't have the time nor do they tend to make the time. Hope you get answers and help for him soon! After you send them a letter (keep a copy) they have 30 days (I believe) to test him and call a meeting. If you get that far, I will tell you why you should bring an Advocate...lol. I"m going through this now. Now if you think he is capable and is just deliberately screwing up because he's into some bad stuff, not sure what to tell you. My kids cooperated with the help. You need to tell us a bit more about your son for us to be very helpful. You may want to do a signature, like I've done below. It will help us get an overview of your child....age, disability, problem, medication, etc. It also shows us the dynamics of the entire family. [/QUOTE]
