[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 250792, member: 3444"] I think what helped our case when difficult child 2 got suspended for bringing a knife to school, was my overall calm and detachment from the situation when we met with the crisis intervention guys from the district. I think everyone was looking for me to flip out and get hysterical, but I didn't. I brought in my 4-inch binder with difficult child 2's medical history, school reports, evaluations, report cards, etc., looking very on top of things and calmly explained that while yes, he has issues and we are working on them, I had no idea why he would say the threatening things he said to the other student and was equally concerned about figuring out why and ensuring that it never happened again. I think they came away viewing me as a member of their "team" and not an adversary. I think that helped a lot. [/QUOTE]
