You appreciate that creativity when your kid uses it to skirt your rules, too?

+1. This explains so much.

He’ll get caught. Weird flex to announce you’re a bad parent.

NP. "Caught." So, what do you think will really happen if a kid gets caught. Honest question.

They take his real phone.

Theft.

APS, per usual, is out-of-touch and, frankly, out-of-line.

None of this means he’s paying more attention - he’s on his laptop listening to Spotify and watching YouTube.

So you’ve failed as a parent and you’re announcing it? What an odd choice.

What exactly am I supposed to do about it when he’s at school? I have told the teachers they can remove his computer or give him demerits or whatever, but they don’t. It’s their classroom.

I would tell them he needs to do his homework on paper and not have a school provided laptop. I would make him change the password and only I would have it, so he can’t use it at school and only can use electronics under my supervision.

Good luck with that.

I’m in tech and these are very easy controls to implement. What would I need good luck on?

The way you commented this not even realizing how much it reveals what a jerk of a kid you’ve raised in multiple ways- incredible.

Or maybe he’s an HFA kid with ADHD who is not disruptive so the teachers don’t follow up on their end of the IEP and provide him the necessary supports. And if you think your NT kids are sitting in school following all the rules I have waterfront property in Brooklyn to sell you. Maybe my kid is actually smarter than yours because he figured out the workaround earlier.

He isn’t calling his teachers D*CKS because of HFA. I can’t believe you didn’t understand why PP was calling your DS a jerk. I guess apple, tree, all that.

I don’t see how that is in anyway creative.

Oh please. He called teachers d!cks, and watches YouTube and Spotify in class. RUDE. I’m a teacher and teach plenty of kids with IEPs, ADHD, ASD. It’s not an excuse to be a jerk and your kid, as YOU presented him yourself is.

Oh I see high schoolers are on this board.

Creativity is building a magnetic tool to open pouches

Actually he is because he understands words in context and tries to be like all the other kids so he uses their lingo. He wants to be cool and have some friends. He doesn’t have anyone who sits with him during lunch to “interact with in real life in his social circle”. It's not like he called the teachers that to their faces. Oh wait, your kids are all Milhouses and no one in your house ever says anything worse than “well that was unpleasant”.

So when you see a kid zoning out, what is it that you do? I know he does those things because I check his laptop every day when he comes home to figure out what work he needs to do and I see all the tabs open. Why does my kid never come home with his mandated supports done? Why isnt your Canvas up to date with upcoming assignments and tests not listed until the night before, if that? Did you think he said those things to your face? He’s telling me what’s going on. When I go to back to school night or send an email I basically get “which kid is yours again”? So I appreciate how tough teaching is, but I can’t control his actions in your classroom. I can’t force him to study if there’s nothing listed and the notes aren’t up.

Tell me you haven’t been in a school without telling me you haven’t been in a school. Have you looked at APS laptops? They’re all locked and configured at the school level and parents can’t change them. In middle school they blocked many sites but they don’t seem to be doing it in high school. Also, they don’t use textbooks and half the time they don’t give the kids paper copies of books to read. It’s all “online”.

A parent can change the password. Step one.

If your child really is struggling so much and acting out, you are definitely challenged in treating his disorder.

Your subsequent comments definitely reveal that you likely have a personality disorder, so my condolences to your family.
