[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The calls we received were from 3 separate teachers over 1.5 years. They all had the same theme- messing around, not paying attention, ignoring directions, talking, distracted. He is also not failing, he is a B/C student and got a D in chemistry. I don't think the situation is as dire as some PP's interpreted it to be.

We have since installed an app that allows us to lock down his phone and monitor everything.

I agree with everyone about possible ADHD or depression. [/quote]

If he has a VPN installed already, that means he know how to work any apps that allows you to "locK and monitor everything" on the phone. VPNs pretty much bypass that. Believe me I learned that while trying to "supervise" our teens activity online.

Also, if I had 3 calls from 3 different teachers I would not only take away the phone completely but I would be calling the school and requesting a meeting with the counselor and my kid.

Unless your kid has had a history of not following directions and being disruptive, do not confuse plain bad behavior with ADHD or depression. [/quote]

We called a meeting back in Dec and the school was dismissive and wouldn't consent to testing. We get zero emails/communication from the school in general. We don't get emails that preempt the calls, the calls have been isolated. We spoke to the counselor and they were not concerned, but my guess is that they just have bigger fish to fry.

It's been difficult to assess because DS's school is downplaying everything. [/quote]
