[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another vote for ADHD and testing... as well as an IEP and in school support to help him focus.

It may also be sensory processing disorder.

That said, the teacher needs to manager the classroom - it's the teachers job and not yours.[/quote]

Exactly this. The teacher needs to manage the classroom. But the  teacher also needs  to initiate some type of analysis of the behavior. When exactly is the behavior happening? Is it task avoidance? Is it later in the day? Etc. she needs to try to figure out the antecedents. I'm not a teacher so I don't know the language. Some kids sit on special cusions. Some kids get fidgets. Some get a rubber band to kick on their desk. I knew of one kid who needed a seat belt across his lap. It didn't tie him down, but it reminded him, oh yeah I need to sit.

Also, ime, the school will talk with the parents about needing evaluations. This usually occurred after everything above and before daily phone calls.

If I were the mom I would be livid if I kept getting calls without the school coming up with a plan of action. What the fuck is she supposed to do? Go to school and stand next to her kid all day?[/quote]

Yes, one parent needs to step up and DO something. Standing next to their child all day is one good first step. [/quote]
