[QUOTE="Star*, post: 118547, member: 4964"] Paris, I'm sure the teachers in that classroom are very worn out. Like Suz said - you have one - they have 20. I can't imagine how they would feel every day NOT having even one student being successful. But at least your kid is trying. He's there, he's doing some work - and you can ask him to stop inhaling so much. As far as the school calling - get an answering machine and at the end of the week send a letter to the teacher addressing all her concerns so she knows that you are involved, but are trying to distance yourself from your sons behaviors and allowing natural consequences to take over. I don't think it's done to make you mental - but it' IS the teacher using the only tools she has available and following through with "IF you do this the consequence will be -solitary confinement, the axe, a firing squad - nope the only thing she has in her arsenal is "I'm going to have to call your parents." So don't take it so personal. LIke I said - get an answering machine - let her call home so she can keep her promise of following through with a consequence and you address them once a week. I'd also put that in the letter to the teacher that you get what she HAS to do, and while you appreciate her - the phone calls daily are making you very upset - and you're doing the best you can too. I've not answered the phone a couple of times - one time Dude fell and needed medical assistance - so while it's tempting - I don't think it's doable. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
