[QUOTE="keista, post: 459033, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board! I've got one question for the ppl who are blaming your parenting for his behavior: Then why are easy child 2 and easy child 3 NOT having such issues? DUH! Are you in the US? Really? One elementary school in the district? Or is that in your town? by the way it's not that small. My kids go to a smaller school. Only 50 or so kids in the 5th grade this year. If he's not doing his schoolwork and has a diagnosis of ADHD, he should be eligible for an IEP as opposed to a 504 plan. Don't ask what the counselor thinks, ask for an IEP evaluation. PERIOD. Have you looked into advocates in your area? Here we have a small advocate organization that is paid for by the state. Two VERY dedicated ppl to cover our entire district. I've used them as my "muscle" a few times. The last time was for the IEP meeting shortly after son started middle school. They were very uncooperative with me until I brought her in. As we were leaving, she asked why I invited her because they seemed very much "on board". Simple. They only became that way because she was in on the meeting. Haven't had to call her since. From that point on, the school knew I had an advocate that REALLY knew the ins and outs of the law and if there were any more problems, I wouldn't hesitate to call her in again. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! If he doesn't do the work, if the teachers and staff can't get him to do the work, they will have to deal with him even LONGER. I don't know of anywhere in the modern world that a 9 year old child can just choose NOT to go to school. If he doesn't do the work, he can't get promoted, and then they have to do remediation. Regarding the new medications, any change in behavior yet? Better, worse, the same? Any medication combos in the past that worked? [/QUOTE]
