UGHHH I don't know what to do anymore. I give up. He hasn't been having trouble lately (or that I am aware of anyway). He was in a decent mood this morning. I was off so was home for a change. I get to school to pick up daughter to take her to dance. I see him coming out of the office. I go over there and say what happened. Said he was in trouble. I said for what. He said his usual reply of I don't know. I see a sealed envelope in his hand and my heart sank. He's been suspended in Sept so I recognized the envelope. He goes off to class to get his backpack. I open letter and it is a letter of proposed suspension. Says we are to attend a meeting on Dec 16th. He can't come to school until said meeting. What am I going to do with-him until then? I've missed a lot of work this year because my husband has had 2 back surgeries since May. difficult child had a T&A in Sept. I can't miss anymore. I don't know what to do. The letter said that the infraction was obscene language. No other details were given. The school called my husband and told them that he was behaving inappropriately in the cafeteria. The principal was busy and couldn't talk. ????? That was it.
difficult child has an IEP. Guess that doesn't exempt him from being suspended. At his IEP meeting a month ago they suggested trying to get him into a day school that is in conjunction with-the public school system. The problem there is they only accept 12 kids at a time and he has to be accepted to it also. I haven't heard anything about it. So, not sure if he was accepted or not. I'm sure it's full. So you have to wait for an opening, but again not even sure if he's been accepted.
He was put on vyvanse last month as well. It didn't seem to make a difference. If anything it takes longer to kick in from what I've seen.
I just feel like the school doesn't care about my child or my family. I am just over it all. Want to run away.
Thanks for listening. I am at a loss as to what to do next.
ETA: This time of year every year is when he does a nose dive behavior wise. I really don't know what the deal is. but from Halloween on he freaks out. I really have my thoughts that he is BiPolar (BP). Psychiatrist won't say so. I tell him about the behavior nose dive every year and he just sits there looking at me. He was suspended this same week last year. He got into a fight in PE and wouldn't go to time out like the PE teacher said. Was taken to the office to see principal and wouldn't talk to him. Was suspended for disrespectful behavior....see the trend.
