[quote=Anonymous]A lot of SN kids behave a lot better at school than they do at home.  In fact a lot of kids do.  This is due to a variety of factors.  Some kids hold it together at school and then lose it at the end of the day at home due to the strain of keeping it together.  Or some kids' medications wear off at the end of the day.  Some educators are more skilled/experienced than parents (like your friend) at handling misbehavior and will not put up with it, so kids know the rules and the consequences and do in fact act better.  It's easier for a teacher to give a consequence than it is for a parent.  It just is.

And if this boy walked on a table a few times at school, it seems that the school dealt with that effectively and appropriately.  I'm not sure what you are looking for here.  Validation that he is a troublemaker at school as well as at home?  A chance to micromanage his IEP?  Hectoring the mother?

OP, what are your goals in this situation?  This isn't reality tv.  This is a young boy.  You say you are an educator.  Students don't get "asked to leave" public schools.  If a placement is inappropriate, that placement is changed.

I've followed your post for the last couple of days and while I don't think you are a troll, I think you are mean-spirited and I seriously question your good will in this situation.   You say this is like watching a car crash.  Well, you remind me exactly of people who gather around a car crash to rubberneck, for absolutely no reason -- MOVE ON.  Drop this friend because you are not a friend to her.[/quote]
