[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child with behavioral issues.

One of the ABSOLUTE WORST things that happened to him in K was repeated suspensions for behavioral episodes (this was with an IEP for ASD). Because he learned that if he did X, he would get rewarded with a day away from school.  Suspending a child with behaviors is literally the most counterproductive thing this school can do. It took us years to recover from the fallout from this shitshow.[/quote]

This was my child in Pre-K, but, instead of official suspensions, I just had to pick him up. Once we got an advocate involved, this kind of crap stopped. Now he's a much happier kiddo and doing so well in school.

A 4 day suspension is over the top here. I'm glad you're engaging personnel above the principal.

Also, I learned this at a great parenting class earlier this year: People are part of the environment. Thus, a poor environment can be brought on or worsened by people, just as good people can make it better. IF the para is not a good fit with your son, and the problems are environmental, the school needs to fix it. [/quote]
