[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 254133, member: 3444"] Well, still haven't spoken with husband about this... he's SLEEPING. (That's another story...) I took difficult child 2 out to lunch today and talked with him about the teacher's email. He still insists on his innocence and I have to say I still believe him. He was crying he said because he was embarrassed over his classmates yelling at him and then being called up to see the teacher. I don't think the teacher actually SAW him looking in the book. I think he'd already put it back in his desk by the time the girl in his class told the teacher what was happening. Because I know difficult child 2 has problems with language pragmatics, I think when the teacher asked difficult child 2 "Did you know...", difficult child 2 interpreted it as "Do you know that what people saw you doing is considered cheating" or even perhaps he was thinking "Yeah I know because everybody just told me I was." A better way to ask (because of the way difficult child 2 thinks) would be to say, "Where you cheating?" Does that make sense? Even my mom is just incredulous over the thought that difficult child 2 would try to be so blatant about something like this. It's just so uncharacteristic of him. So for now, we both agree to disagree, and I will address it at length when we meet for the IEP meeting. And maybe husband will be able to attend to further support our case. What's really bad, though, is that his classmates are talking about it with other students -- there was a girl in detention with him yesterday, who isn't even in his class, and SHE already knew what happened the day before. Can't wait until this year is over and we are at the new school. [/QUOTE]
