[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - it’s not a sn school (he does not qualify for one) but they do have an entirely social emotionally focused curriculum.

I don’t mind that they are calling me I kind that I don’t know what to do or what they expect of me beyond what I’m already doing of which they are aware [/quote]

What non-special needs school in the DMV costs $65K for 4th or 5th grade? I haven’t seen anything over $60K, and most are around $55K.

My ADHD (maybe ASD) child is also 10 and in a mainstream private. My child is also medicated, sees a therapist, does a social skills group, and is doing ok. But we have had weeks and months where I was just trying to figure out how to make sure my child was behaving at school, and thankful for the grace the school gave me to work it out when my child wasn’t behaving.

We have had moments when I’ve gotten a call from the teacher or head of school for their division. It’s always because my child’s behavior is impacting another child in a way that the school finds to be unacceptable. In all honesty, if another child treated my child that way, I would also find it unacceptable. Which is to say that I agree with the behavior standards that our school has, and believe that they should hold all children (including mine) accountable to that standard. I never get class when my child disrupts the class, only when they feel my child has harmed another child.

If this is really only a pattern the last couple of weeks, then you need to deal with your frustration on being called and stop blaming the school for the calls when it’s your DC’s behavior which is to blame. There are just a handful of days left this year, just get through it.

If this is a longer trend, the school is likely signaling they want you to do more/ try more. They obviously don’t think you are doing enough. That may not be true, you may be doing everything, but if you ask the counselor they will likely tell you what they think you should be doing. At least then you will know. [/quote]
