[quote=Anonymous]OP, sending you a virtual hug. It's hard having a kid with behavioral issues, and it can often feel like there is very little sympathy for the kids (and parents) dealing with these issues. Even camps and schools that are known for being very welcoming to special needs can have very little tolerance for behavioral issues.

I want to tell you two things. First, things can get so much better for your child - and getting an IEP and figuring out exactly what your child needs help with are a big part of that. Our youngest had a spectacularly awful first two months of K - and then we got him moved to a new school, where he now has an IEP and the support he needs. He is truly a different child with this help and support.

Second, I work in MCPS and I have never heard of a four day suspension for a young elementary school aged child. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it is very much out of line with the punishments I've seen at my school and my children's schools. I would absolutely reach out to others, both within your child's school and within MCPS, to find out more about the incident and how that particular punishment was chosen.

Good luck to you. [/quote]
