[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 729517, member: 20727"] Well it's been over a month and the first real problem was Friday. He tried to run off from the counslour and though they did mange him and keep him in the school it was with much difficulty and I was not called for it. This tantrum lasted over an hour. Had they called me it could of potentialy ended much better and differently. This started in the morning and one bad behavior after another for the rest of the day. It seems this school has went with the other extreme and has decided to not call me at all. Not the solution I was looking for. And to top it off his teacher seems to think that he just acts this way because he can. I'll copy and paste the email from her below. To say I'm angry is an understatement. I have a meeting with the principal and district guy tomorrow morning. "R behavior is consistently challenging throughout the day. With all of my experience, my professional opinion is there is not a real trigger, cause, reason, or excuse for his behavior. He simply doesn’t want to be instructed to do something and be in the role of the child. He’d rather make the decisions of what he will and won’t do or think about at any given moment and if he decides he’s through cooperating, that’s when he’ll decide to act out. This is evident from the times/days when he listens and follows directions because he likes me as his teacher and decides to cooperate for that reason.
