[quote=Anonymous]I think you're on the right track to start the IEP/504 process.  Your post reminds me of when my son was in first grade.  He would come home and say that even though he tried as hard as he could all day every day, he was bad and he couldn't go to school.  So, I requested what I now know is called an EMT.  I went through the guidance counselor.  We were able to revise the classroom behavior plan so that he only flipped his card (they did the green/yellow/red card system) if he was violent, which he never was.  There were a few other things we did as well.

In future years, all behavioral issues (which included classroom management issues) were handled by the special education resource teacher, not the classroom teacher.  So if a problem arose, only the resource teacher could implement any sort of program and she monitored it daily.

We also had a lot of success with medication.

We may have had an easier time dealing with things because my son had an IEP from before he started school.  When you get to the point of developing a 504 or IEP, you might want to check the archives.  Over the past year or so there have been some very good posts on interventions for kids at all grade levels.

One last thing.  Most teachers are really good with kids with ADHD but some are not.  Don't let yourself get discouraged and down on teachers at this point.  Almost all of my son's teachers have been amazing and even the ones who have had the occasional bad day or bad week with him have really tried to do a good job with him.[/quote]
