[QUOTE="dadside, post: 220784, member: 5707"] Without knowing a lot more .. history, problems, what the school has genuinely done or tried, etc etc (which may not change my thoughts anyway) .. it seems the school is WAY overreacting. And, if what he did is a "manifestation" of one of his problems, their ability to suspend him is limited. It is already evident that something is wrong when the school says he can't come to school for [I][U]a week[/U][/I] until they can meet to consider suspending him! He can't come to school for [I]a week[/I], but they have not yet determined "punishment" for using bad language?!!! The other advice you've already been given merits follow-up. To that I'd only add that you'd probably benefit from an education advocate helping you get your difficult child what he is entitled to from the school. In many areas you might get a volunteer (= no fee) advocate. One place to check is your state's Parent Training & Information Center -- a quick web search should identify it. [/QUOTE]
