[QUOTE="buddy, post: 484032, member: 12886"] First, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What a bunch of jerks. A BOMB??? Holy heck, these people were probably people who played cops and robbers, cowboys and indians and all kinds of inappropriate things as kids and now they can't tell the difference between an experession of frustration from an impulse disordered kid and a true threat? I have no patience this week so you get the benefit of my outrage for all difficult child's who are being unfairly treated. Seriously, suspension does not work, research shows this, it is not sound practice and should only be used in true safety situations or for those neurotypicals who make mistakes and are horrified and embarrased, worried about their "permanent" record types...THEY will stop a behavior with suspension. Kids who are having neurological issues or chemical imbalances, are not going to have that go away with a suspension. These kids need time-ins ....they need MORE time to practice and work on things. It is not that they get a "pass" but they need research based interventions that are known to work. OK that rant is over, just feel for you and him! Have they started any school evaluation process? (you said they started, sorry... I meant is it done? how long has it been?) This is at the very least an OHI disability and he needs accomodations to help deal with when medications are off or he is just having a bad day medications help but if he has a true disorder of any kind, it does not take it away and there needs to be a plan to help teach him missing skills that he will need when his stress or disorganization goes beyond the level of medications, or if there is a medication error or if he has a growth spurt or gets ill etc. Does he already have any school support other than a para??? That may or may not be LRE, he may need a Special Education. person to help support mainstream teacher or as a resrouce room to go to when things get tough or to learn skills (doesn't sound like it yet... from your post but I may have missed it).
