[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each more restrictive placement is a huge downgrade in academic quality.

I had a child at an ED center in Fairfax for four years and I never knew a child who returned to his base school (despite what they promise when they are trying to get you to agree to change the placement).

The suspensions, OP, are to force your hand and create a paper trail. They are trying to make your life as painful as possible (do you work?). If you don't agree to the ED center, they will do in-school suspensions after they use up their 10 "free" suspension days. (I call them "free" days b/c the school system isn't accountable for them).

Have you toured the ED center they are suggesting (it is based on address)?  [/quote]

I have a friend whose child sounds a lot like yours.  They are in MCPS.  Her child was eventually placed in the ED program.  Frankly, she was relieved and is very happy with the placement.  Finally, her child is in a place where he can learn and she isn't being called everyday.  In this area, there is a prevailing belief that the highly academic setting is best for everyone.  This being said, it's always good to educate yourself about the options.

Good luck, OP.  I have no insight for you.  My son has ADHD and some other issues, but he doesn't have behavior problems at school so all I can do is hope that you find an answer that works for your son.[/quote]
