[QUOTE="Janna, post: 108209, member: 2737"] Hi, Well, honestly, sounds like the school is on top of things. Kudos to them for wanting to get him more services, get him more help, and get him an IEP. Really, alot of schools wouldn't even go to those lengths. It may just be about your son making a stupid choice. I mean, he's 11. Bringing the knife was dumb, and he probably knows it. I have a 9 year old that took my hubby's Zippo lighter two years ago, in 2nd grade. He got a day out for that. And my same 9 year old last year, 3rd grade, wrote a story about hunting, shooting a deer, slaying a bear, blood, guts, hahahaha. We live in the mountains, it's what we do, but the school, they didn't find it funny. Anyway - he's a boy, and he did something dumb. What was said to the other kids could have been exaggerated. You don't know. I think what you're doing is good. Giving him consequences for his actions. See what happens after that. It's possible your son could get an IEP, get into a smaller, more structured classroom with that, have accomodations, interventions, get alot of help, and learn in time to make better choices. I'd just wait and see how things go when he goes back. Hope things get better. I know how you feel, I've gotten tons of calls in the past. [/QUOTE]
