In a nutshell...difficult child had out of school suspension for three days (he loved it), following that he had IN school suspension for seven days. He's in a social development classroom of two, but is mainstreamed in PE, Band and Tech Ed where he's made surprisingly good grades. When he was suspended the assistant principal assured us he would get his work for the mainstream classes taken to him in the "contained" classroom during the suspension. He didn't. Now in the Tech Ed class he's gone from an A to one point away from an F. What the heck? husband and I have called the teacher, left voicemail and got no response; emailed, no response; called the assistant principal THREE times and have gotten no response. During this time difficult child also had State Tests where his IEP states it's to be given in a "small group", and difficult child said there were seventeen in the class during the test. Is that a small group?
difficult child now is giving up on the mainstream classes. He's never even made a C, much less a D or F. He feels he can't catch up and that no one cares. Good grief.....there's only 6 weeks left. We have prodded and pulled to keep his spirits up for eight years of schooling and in one full swoop they dashed it all. I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions?
