Ok I am beyond angry. GFGgot a couple of suspensions in Dec when he had some random acts of aggression largely due to starting Zoloft. That's discountinued he is back to his "normal behavior" which is generally ok, sometimes off task. He got written up a teacher who he has had few issues with this year because my son thought he had received permission to go to the bathroom and went, teacher claimed he hadn't. A misunderstanding we think. And in any event hardly of the same level of his previous suspensions. Plus they kept him out of school for 8 half days in Jan to see how he was and wait for the behavior assessment to be done which is isn't yet. He is on an IEP. His Special Education teacher changed his classes around so that he would have an aide in this one class that difficult child wasn't real happy about but he dealt with ok. We thought that was the end of it.
So we are writing the principal to tell him that we think that the discipline policy is being applied inflexibly, he is placing my son on such and such a level because of previous incidents so now no matter what he does it is suspsension.
I haven't been this angry in a long time. I am seriously considering saying that we will be homeschoooling difficult child until the school completes the behavior assessment and comes up with a non punitive behavior plan. There is no way difficult child wants to serve an in school suspension for this and while I have always tried to accept rationale of school I'm beyond livid at this. I really think the new principal's discipline policy is out of control.
Any thoughts? My son would hate to be homeschooled, but honestly with this bunch of inflexible small minded people running the place I am really tempted. I figure they might decide to forego the suspension and get the FBA completed aSAP.
Smoke out of the ears....
