[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 442400, member: 3419"] There are always pros and cons when changing schools. I thought about it long and hard and in the end, it was difficult child's lack of performance and numerous absences that sealed the deal. I can see the issues with-Little being influenced by other out-of-control kids if he is at a behavioral school. But there are kids like that in other schools, too. However, there are also more kids, in general, so maybe he will meet some who don't have behavior issues. Since he's that far behind, he is going to need a special plan to catch up. I can't imagine how the teacher will be able to teach him when he should be doing pre-algebra. It seems like he still needs to get a grip on his ADHD, and I don't know if he's on medications or what, but task completion is a big deal at this age. My son stayed after school two days a wk and did most of his homework there. It really helped. Far fewer blowups at home. Does Little generally get along with-his teachers? What are the plans for blowups at his new school? What sort of team do they have and how do they handle kids like Little? [/QUOTE]
