Is it me or the teachers?
Ok, I don't know if anyone else has this problem, I disagreed with my sons teacher about him going to a mixed 4th 5th grade class next year, he is actually going in 4th grade, she seems to treat him very bad now, she actually sent him to the office and tried to get him 1 wk lunch detention for accidently (and the video showed it to be an accident) for breaking a plastic ruler. I had the same thing happen last year when a disagreed with a teacher and held my son back in 3rd grade because he was to immature for 4th then. He was treated so bad and was afraid to tell me that he started having physical problems and the doctor said it was emotional abuse and take him out of school early. Well changing schools and holding him back was working great, Until I disagreed with the teacher about this mixed class.
He actually got in trouble for giving a "funny look" at someone. He is very smart and I have no doubt that he can do the work in the higher class, but he is very immature and he also has a processing delay that requires him to be in rescourse room. Does any one else have problems like this?

I don't really have much experience with this, but just wanted to suggest maybe scheduling a conference with the teacher and the principal to voice your concerns? Perhaps you could get some answers to any questions you may be having regarding the teacher's handling of things, and you could also voice your concerns as well, and hopefully come up with a solution that will work for all involved. Good luck!

Hi Kristy! Wow! You should go and have a conference with the teacher. She has some kind of problem. My son was held back in the 2nd grade for some of the same reasons he wasn't emotionally ready for the 3rd grade. I think my son might have ADHD well the school psycoligist said that she didn't diagnose him with anything she told me to take him to the dr. and have him diagnose. He has a problem with anger we have had alot of "stuff" that has been hard on him over the past few years. We had hurricane Charley in 2004 almost destroy our home luckly we ran or he would have had more issues. My mom died his grandma in 2006 and maybe that might be the biggest part of his anger towards me. We do have him in counsiling right now but it is to the point where I want to put him on medication. I don't know what to do myself. Well I better go for now and clean up the kitchen before the kids get home. Hugs Jenny!

Thanks for the advice, I did try to have a conference today with the teacher and got my son thrown out of school until Thursday, and he wasn't in the room.
I know its the teacher now, their are videos in the classroom and she told me he lifted his chair and was going to throw it and did throw his pencil box all because I over dressed him.
It was 38 when he left for school and 57 at the time and I put him in a sweater. Well after watching the video in the vice principals office today I saw that he did not do either and things happened just as my "lying" son said. He pushed his chair back in anger and slammed a book on his desk.
So I lost my temper and started yelling at her, and my son was in the car waiting for me, and now he can't go back until at least Thursday when I have a meeting with the Principle. I most be the only mom in history that gets their child suspended from school.
I am sorry to hear about your mom Laura, I lost my mom young so my son never had a grandma.
Thank you Jenny and Laura, I feel like I am losing it over this and it helps to talk about it, any other suggested considering the teacher lies and it has been proven would be greatly appreciated.
