[quote=Anonymous]We're in a non DC private and suspect that our son will be counseled out at the end of the year.

He is in 3rd grade and was diagnosed in 2nd grade with ADHD and a learning disability. He also has an extremely high IQ which requires academic differentiation. The teachers are catching it on both ends of the bell curve with my kid.

Warning signs- repeated requests for meetings covering the same issues even though we have given input into classroom management. Attendees now include the head of school. DS is getting into significant trouble for small things (i.e. things that other kids also do such as talking in class)-- and in my opinion, blowing many things out of proportion. I think it's to build a case and they want him gone-- easier to do that if they can show he's always in hot water.

In spite of sounding bitter and defensive, I'm a strict parent. If DS does the wrong thing, we advocate for his needs, but we don't defend his misbehavior. In this case, I think he's been mistreated and it's done some damage.
