[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. The school and administration is working very hard, but there is just so much we can do. Student aren't afraid when their parents get a call from the principal. They have behavior charts, incentives, consequences. Rules, repetition, predictable schedules. The behavior continues. Sometimes immediately after it was addressed.

Even if you haven't recovered from the pandemic, you have to put the time into your kids, for their sake (and yours). Kids thrive with firm, loving boundaries. But we can't do this alone. I know this sounds grating to some, but I'm saying this all with sincerity. And I've talked to teachers in schools with different SES levels and it's a problem across the board. [/quote]

I have a kid with severe ADHD among other things. Virtual school was an absolute nightmare for us. I am still incredibly frustrated about the toll it took on my child, my work (I ended up taking a leave of absence and leaving my work short staffed) and my relationship with my child. Meanwhile, my child could not finish the diagnostic process we had juuust started after a 10 month waitlist. My child’s therapist would not see them virtually because they could not participate in a virtual session, yet did not return to in patient visits until 2022. We were able after much effort and time on multiple waitlists to get back to in person therapy at a new practice in mid 2021. We are starting catching up on other appointments that  could not be made until we finally got official diagnoses in 2021. The wait time for the only new pediatric psychologist that we could find taking new patients was 6.5 months. Again, hours of research to find this person. Keep in mind we are able to private pay for all of this.

It’s not just exhaustion for some of us. It’s really hard to get our kids help.[/quote]

Op here. I hear you, I really do. I don't think you're my target audience in this post. It sounds like you are working hard to help your child, and I'm assuming you're doing as much as you can at home, but he's still difficult in school. Keep up the work in finding help, but also keep up the work keeping them accountable at home. [/quote]
