[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this IS them addressing behavior and helping him improve. In middle school, they should be less flexible than elementary school because the kids should be able to control themselves better and understand rules better.

Tardies, cell phone use and interfering with learning all show a lack of self control. Does he have issues like this at home? Could ADHD meds or executive functioning skills courses help? [/quote]

He takes Concerta for his ADHD  and the grades are all A & Bs.   Meds works, turns in assignments and does well on Test and quizzes.   [/quote]

Guess what? Smart kids can have behavior issues. Getting good grades does not excuse poor behavior.

Your kid has four tardies. That's a lot. Your kid needs to get to class.

Your kid had his phone out. That's a problem. The bell-to-bell rule is very clear.

Your kid shoved another kid. No excuse. Your kid needs to keep his hands to himself.

Your kid is disruptive. He is way too old to use the excuse that he's just being a kid. There is no excuse for disruptive behavior. [/quote]
