[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm very sorry to say this, but I would be extremely upset if I found out my child was being "poked" by a scalpel. VERY upset. OP, I'm sorry that your son and you are in this position, but I honestly don't understand why everyone thinks the school is over-reacting. He didn't call someone a name, or shout out in class - he "poked" someone with a knife. I think OP is doing a great job with her son, and I don't have suggestions for any different behavior, but I'm glad the school did what they did and I'm flummoxed by the responses that seem to think they overreacted.

I'm a PP with an ADHD child.  If it were my son, I'd absolutely expect you to be upset and I'd absolutely expect the school to follow through with the zero tolerance policy.  I'd be glad they were impressing on my son just how serious his behavior was.  Even if OP's son didn't get it, which, after having had second graders three times, I doubt, he needs to learn.  And, even though kids are impulsive, particularly ADHD kids, the manner in which they are impulsive can be controlled.  I don't find the schools reaction to be over the top at all.[/quote]
