[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 274245, member: 1991"] I think you need to post about thiws over in Special Education forum. Also, since it is so close to the end of the school year for you, surely such a long suspension (I agree, it is ridiculous) is perhaps the school's way of trying to get rid of a problem kid? If they insist they have to have an ARP (sorry, I don't know what that is) then surely they can arrange to have that meeting on time. Reading this story - your child was raging and the situation was handled badly. He did the wrong thing, but it was a series of events each leading to the next stage. It was escalated due to bad handling. Yes, the principal was injured, but it all follows on. Example: if I want to cuddle a cat, I will first make friends with the cat. I will call to it, pat it if it comes over to me, test gently to see if that cat will let me pick it up and keep coaxing it until I can get the cat onto my lap for some cuddlnig and gentle fondling. Or I could grab the cat and force it onto my lap, gripping it firmly to make sure it doesn't twist away. Of course most cats will fight this, so I will have to tighten my grip to make sure the cat stays on my lap. Of course, I will get scratched. Who is to blame then? Me? or the cat? Welcome to the site. Who diagnosed your son? What sort of assessment was done? There could be more to it, which could not only explain things more (for you) but also point the way to more appropriate support, to help him learn self-control. When you can, do a sig for yourself (it helps us keep your info straight and also saves you writers cramp typing it all out with each post). Also, begin a thread for yourself about your concerns, so we can give you our undivided attention. Again, welcome! Marg [/QUOTE]
