[QUOTE="klmno, post: 444842, member: 3699"] Maybe that would be the [I]right[/I] thing, but there's no way that the sd can over-ride a Department of Juvenile Justice decision. The dept of education had to fight in court some years ago to even keep control of schools for incarcerated minors. We are actually "lucky" that Department of Juvenile Justice no longer has authority over the school decisions of k-12 schools on Department of Juvenile Justice property. And having a lighter and gang information (whatever the koi that means) wouldn't give the sd reason to fight for difficult child. It was an issue for them to discuss with Department of Juvenile Justice staff that difficult child could make flash cards in his unit to use for studying. At some point, difficult child does have to realize that his behavior is costing him a better education and credit for that education and ability to maximize his best qualities. If he doesn't care, I'm not sure there's anything any of us can do. I'm not disagreeing with you and I appreciate your thoughts. But I'll be darned if I'll fight for difficult child to get any lenience again tto accommodate classes he needs to get an advanced diploma again. I had asked them (the Department of Juvenile Justice sd iep team) to be thinking of how they could accommodate classes in the fall that they don't offer but difficult child would need for that diploma. If he can't keep himself out of trouble to go to school, how in the world could he ever make it in college? difficult child needs to wake up to that and if he's only been saying that to manipulate me more, than we can stop that charade. My stern tone is due to my determination tos tick to this boundary for difficult child, JJJ, and has nothing to do with you or your ideas. I appreciate them- I'm just really ticked and hurt by difficult child's choices and lies this past week. He apparently got off for the fight 8-10 days ago and could have continued on. But for some reason, staff searched his stuff and lo and behold.....but maybe this is difficult child's true colors coming out for them. At home, things were ok as long as he could get by with whatever he wanted. But if he couldn't, I had he!! to pay and yes, it obviously reached that line of violence. When I mentioned school repercussions for the fight last week, the staff person reminded me that their first priority is to keep everyone safe. I can't argue that. [/QUOTE]
