[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 566276, member: 455"] Sounds just like my difficult child! First of all I'd be wondering why you still only have a 504 and not an IEP? I'd be working on getting that done and in place asap as it WILL make a difference and them more accountable (difficult child may will still be accountable for his actions as well). My difficult child- he's like a soda bottle in school all day...shake, shake, shake...come home....take lid off, explode! He can only keep himself together at school for so long and takes a lot of effort to do so and then once home let's loose. He has a lot of work, mostly homework that he doesn't get done but "could" get it done through out the day in school. Sometimes he will miss classwork however. The times he misses classwork falls under these reasons: He is passively getting back at a teacher because 1) they might have reprimanded him for something or even "talked to him" and he felt it negatively or thought he was being "yelled at"-it ends up hurting him by doing so. He has an issue with the teacher - often it's a teacher that does not "get" children like ours and though we've had many IEP meetings to go over this and how to handle him or go over his IEP and what they "must" do according to it (accommodations) they may not be doing so. As for homework issues: Quite often he does have it done but just doesn't get it turned in! It's "lost" in his zip binder (case it) somewhere as he is so disorganized and not matter what we've done over 5 years, it hasn't changed a thing other then having his sped case manager go through it daily to pull things out- to which they outright REFUSE to do this year stating he should be able to do this by now! Yes, by age he should but he has ADD and it doesn't matter if it's school work or in this house this is what happens with him. Other times it is just "lost" and still other times he just didn't do it.....and it truly is HOMEWORK and hence the above...shaken soda syndrome. As behavior specialist of school district told them outright and they REFUSED to accept and do....if it's the soda thing...which he is....there is NO reason to require him to do the extra homework if he CLASS grades and testing prove his grades are high. He can and does the work and knows it. They just will not budge on this at all. What we DO have as an accomodation is that he gets 2 days in addition to the 1 day extra that all other students get to make up the work, then it's a zero! You see this kid CAN do the work SOME days, in fact on a GOOD day he could do 5-10 pages of work easily (though it might not be neat). On others you won't get anything out of him and of the pages he does, NEVER at home! [/QUOTE]
