[quote=Anonymous]I generally think the teacher is great.  The fall really went pretty well, with very few problems.  I think he really liked her, and was happy to be in school.  The honeymoon seems like it is now over, maybe for both of them.

I was thinking maybe the bad behavior was in part attributed to the bad weather, as they've had a lot of "indoor recess" lately.  But he got plenty of exercise this weekend, and yet had problems immediately this morning.
His new thing (last month or two) is that whenever anyone tells him not to do something, he gets mad and flips out.  I thought the impulsivity/constant movement was trying, but this is so much worse.  This morning it was triggered by him eating at a time when he wasn't supposed to be eating (and, yes, he had an enormous high protein breakfast before he left).
They do have a behavioral system in place for all the kids in the class, where he can earn or lose extra "free choice" time.  While he does like getting free choice time, he is not motivated enough by it to change his behavior.  He'd just sit in a corner with a book all day if they let him do that, I think.  Reading and soccer are all he really wants to do at the moment.  
I sort of wish they'd let him slide on some of the smaller stuff -- like eating when he's not supposed to be eating, or hiding so he can read a book when he's not that into the classroom work.  
He does not have an IEP plan or an official 504 plan.  I asked for one before the school year started, and they told me he didn't need one.[/quote]
