Hang in there, both of you. I'm glad you have professionals who care and are involved in your son's educational needs.

In junior high, one teacher told my son to carry a small note pad in his pocket to remember her instructions to him - told him to put it in his pocket, buy a chain and attach it to his body....or she will KEEP him in detention. FINE - we did that and came down hard on our son to remember his instructions.

One week later, another teacher reports him to the principal for carrying a DANGEROUS weapon. The principal considered my son's tiny little chain a weapon and suspended him for not following school rules.

My son's nickname was "IT." When the bullies pushed him around at school and threw things at him, the teachers and principal were right there - smiling with amusement, not saying a word.
