[QUOTE="slsh, post: 380978, member: 8"] Shari - I'm with- Sharon. What does your gut instinctually tell you? Go with that. Personally, I wouldn't send him. I think it's inevitable that there will be a repeat, and principal has made it pretty doggone clear what his response is going to be. It's unacceptable and in my humble opinion potentially very harmful for difficult child - what kind of a ridiculous message is being sent to him? At the ripe old age of 8, when the adults around him cannot keep it together enough to help him, *he's* going to be in jeopardy of arrest? Nope - I wouldn't send him. If you do decide to keep him home, I'd tell Wee that the adults at school need some additional instruction/training in order to be able to help him learn and until they are ready, it's best that Wee hang out with- you. It's honest and I think Wee would understand it. It also hopefully would convey to Wee that the adults at school are interested in helping him (maybe a bit of an overstatement, but I see no harm in trying to reassure him of the adults' intentions).
