[QUOTE="rhiannon163, post: 27452, member: 2259"] Thanks for everyone's responses. This is going to sound crazy, but the word "suspension" never even entered my mind until I read it here. I totally forgot that kids get suspended from school all the time. And Jen, you are probably right on about the defiant rule in the handbook. I will have to check that. This worries me though. I am afraid of what I might be up against. We have a meeting Tuesday morning with the school. I've been online all weekend reading about IEPs and BIPs and 504s. No wonder people end up hiring advocates. My difficult child actually has an "interview" Monday with a private school for gifted children. It was my DEX's idea to do this. I am still not convinced he's gifted. He scored really high on a Weschler IQ test given to him right before Kindergarten, and the school psychologist said he might turn out to be gifted (different SD). The woman at the private school said a lot of these kids do very poorly in public school because they are frustrated and bored. He does complain about being bored at school, and certainly he's way ahead of the other kids in reading, but his fine motor skills are lacking, I think. I'm not sure I'm ready to pull him out of public school. I've said this a hundred times, and I'll say it again, THANK GOD for this board. [/QUOTE]
