[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 46472, member: 23"] We've got several things going on here. 1) His ADHD medications are not working and haven't been since January. We've been going through medication adjustments. 2) He's in the middle of an anxiety episode triggered by I don't know what. 3) Puberty has kicked into high gear. 4) husband told him if he wouldn't try to be the class clown, he wouldn't be having these problems. difficult child just regurgitates it. (Would like to throttle him.) 5) A teacher's aide told him he is misbehaving because his medication isn't working. (Would like to throttle her also -- he just regurgitates this also -- like it's carteblanche to misbehave. He just stopped trying.) He's not going to fail, but I'm going to let him sweat it out. Some of this WAS within his control -- being in ISS because of his shirt tail being out is his choice, intentionally breaking pencils so he wouldn't have to work in class and his buddy thinking that's cool is his choice, wandering the halls without a pass and being tardy to class numerous times resulting in more ISS was his choice. These things that resulted in him being out of the classroom and instruction time were well within his ability to control. As I told him, "I have no mercy for you -- don't feel one bit sorry for you." With all that said, it's not that he doesn't know the material (except math), so I'm not concerned with-him passing to the next grade. Too bad, so sad for him, he'll spend time working on math at home this summer. Consequences, consequences.... All we ask of him is that he try. I'm so aggravated at him I could spit! Well, little darling has just arrived home. Can hardly wait to see how he fared with his last minute pleas to his teachers. (by the way, they've been great with him. Bless them!) [/QUOTE]
