[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 728575, member: 13260"] Whoa. Lots going on. My first question is why isn't the school district providing him services via an IEP? He would probably qualify under Other Health Impaired (a common qualify condition for kids with ADHD, and also Emotional Disorder--either one or both. They don't get just to expel kids and be done with it. He is entitled to a free, appropriate, public education, with whatever services are needed to have that happen. Period, end of story. And if they aren't doing that, you need to get an advocate and start raising some Cain. Maybe home schooling (I'm assuming you're doing the teaching) should be discussed further. If he's abusing you and you are having to be providing the education for him, I dunno. That would not be a fun situation, I shouldn't think. Why is this boy being allowed to abuse you? What are the consequences of that? Who is standing up for you? And how are you standing up for yourself? What are the other children witnessing? You're not a doormat. 5'8"?? He's a tall boy. I know when my grandson rages, it's scary, and he's only 5'1 and 115 lbs. Yes, structure and boundaries are key, which I'm sure he pushes against all the time. But he may need other kinds of support, too. And the school can help, unless the homeschooling thing is really working for you. But they still have to provide any services needed, even in your home.
