[QUOTE="DDD, post: 386640, member: 35"] Rats......I just "lost" my reply. I'll try it again! I am sorry that the hearing did not turn out the way you hoped. You did everything you could possibly do. Reaching out to find help for an unexpected problem was brilliant parenting. Thank heavens they did not opt for the expel option. The repercussions of that would certainly be longlasting. While I truly understand your disappointment, I have known kids who benefitted from the alternative school option. in my humble opinion the parents input is crucial. If the student can see the placement as a consequence of poor decision making, it's more than possible that the six weeks will pass quickly and serve as a lesson for future decision making. Where I live, by the way, the students are usually assigned to the alternative school for six months. :sad-very: I think the most important thing at this juncture is to make every effort that your son doesn't begin to see himself as a difficult child who is an outcast. He will be placed with kids who have a lengthly history and likely a poor future. He can get through this assignment with his self image unharmed if his persepective (usually inducted by parental support) is simply "I made a poor choice but I am not a bad person". Best of luck to your whole family. You all must be in shock and upset. Don't forget that you vibes are crucial. He can get through this and return to his school with his pride intact. It's not going to be easy but I truly believe it is possible. DDD [/QUOTE]
