[quote=Anonymous]I have tons of sympathy for your DC, but I do have to agree with the PPs that there are two issues here. One is that maybe the guidance counselor shoud have known better and should have been able to handle this kind of issue. This is why you are annoyed and IMO rightfully so. The other, which I would try not to lose sight of here, is that your child may need some extra support at school and you should try to figure out what's bothering him and how you can help.

Has this happened before? Is it defiant behavior or is it because he's upset about something in the environment or with the interactions with the school? This is important as this will determine how you should react. If the former, I would evaluate my own discipline methods at home and try to think about how they might impact his ability to follow directions at school. If the latter have you considered getting him evaluated or in having a specialist do an observation to see what might be bothering him? Does he need a school with smaller classes? Is he being bullied? There are so many possibilities.[/quote]
