[QUOTE="nvts, post: 103199, member: 3814"] I can't say that I blame him for feeling this way. If it is in fact true that there's no balance in the classroom, he's going to end up not wanting to be there. Last year, did he have the same complaint (assuming he has a different teacher)? If so, I think I'd wonder if it was a sort of persecution complex (you know, "everyone is treated nicer than me" mentality). If he's noticing a pattern THIS year, I'd say that there's a problem. I'd calmly make an appointment with his teacher, bring a copy of his IEP (just for clarification - you never know how much she's read or even been given!), and discuss HIS impression of what's going on in class. Face to face will allow you to decide if she's taking you seriously or just blowing you off. HOWEVER: (and we're going through this here) make sure that although it doesn't seem fair that he's singled out, if he hadn't been fooling around in the first place he couldn't be busted. We're trying to get our 3 difficult child's to realize that just because the rest of the kids are doing something it doesn't make it right. Then, on your way home from school, get yourself a nice cup o'coffee and take some "me" time. Beth [/QUOTE]
