[QUOTE="still_struggling, post: 264009"] difficult child is going to summer camp for 3 weeks. He's been telling everyone that he wants to go into the army when he's bigger, so I found a summer camp that was military style (teaches them survival skills in the woods and such) that he'd love. So, summer is pretty much covered. I can't volunteer at school because of the baby - I just don't have anyone here that can babysit while I volunteer, so the baby is pretty much with me all day. :frowny: I wish I could volunteer though. husband has already said that if he isn't happy with the outcome of the conference, that he intends to ask for a conference with the principal. The entire staff at school KNOWS difficult child, so much so that I don't even have to show i.d. when I go there to pick him up or have a conference ... they just know me. :anxious: I'm on a first name basis with the principal, and have been since the school opened 3 years ago. The teacher that difficult child has this year is new to teaching. I feel like she's a little hard on difficult child at times, based on some of the notes she sends home. I also feel like she's quick to pass difficult child onto someone else when he gets tough. difficult child doesn't respect her as an authority figure because of this, so when he wants to get out of class, he acts up. She's sort of shot herself in the foot because of that, but I don't know how to tell her that without sounding snarky. Anyway, I haven't heard from her yet about the conference date, but I will get in touch with her again today. Will keep you all posted. [/QUOTE]
