Oh, that make sense, I have a kid too who tells everything..sigh. So, given you have to tell, then maybe taking the proactive I know today might be tricky so if there is an issue where you try to redirect him and he really can't pull it together, please call me right away. It will not be in his control and a suspension will be silly at that point. I do that with Q, they haven't abused it so far (but now that the principal knows...sigh). For me, when he is off due to medications or a little thing that most kids can go to school for... I would rather have him with me and not have a serious issue happen. The down side to that might be that it is called a sick day.... you would have to decide for yourself if you want it called a dismissal/suspension vs sick day...because then it counts against the 10 days they are allowed per year for a pattern of suspensions.
Obviously this may not be for you either... glad you have a good EA though, ours are not great
