[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 390299"] If this is basically new behavior since 9th grade I too wonder about drug use. I think before you do anything else you should get him drug tested to be sure it is not drug use. I would make an appointment with the doctor and tell the doctor you are concerned about his suddenly failing grades, general behavior and attitude. Ask them to do a check up including a drug test. Pot stays in your system about a month so if he is smoking at all regularly that will show up. I don't think a neuropsychologist evaluation, or an IEP will help whatsoever if the real problem is drug use. Drug use is rampant in the high schools....and in general the parents are the last to know or if they suspect it is usually worse than they think. This was my experience as well as the experience of many other parents I know. [/QUOTE]
