OP here. Thank you for your advice. Good points. I do wonder about the work, too, but his actions are so reactive that I fear it doesn't matter the setting and if he is accidentally bumped in another school or setting he will have the same reaction. I had his parent teacher conference today and academically he is fine except for writing. I think he might be dyslexic and am talking to his doctors about it. He  has a lot of the symptoms.[/quote]

I'm so sorry it has gotten to this point, OP. I hope you can find him a nice nurturing environment where he feels more comfortable and less reactive. It's a cycle and it's hard to break. He acts out so he's suspended, so he gets angrier for that and acts out again and then gets suspended again. Repeat. I think you said both you and your husband both work but can you take some time off and pull your son out of school for a little while to try to give him some space and time away from the school? I know a middle school mom who had to do this for her child recently and she said it helped enormously. She did end up changing her child's placement after those few weeks but it gave the child some time to clear his mind and become calm and happy again.

How is your son at home? Is he very reactive there as well?
