Yes he ends with this teacher in 5th. And then onto middle school which is same campus so he'll have different teachers but they talk and I already have the bp stigma there because of my 2 teens both dx'd bp went there. The school refused to test my little son for services when he was struggling because we have "trouble at home". None of their biz, it's a law they had to test him, I fought it.

I worry about kids after him too. And I worry about 3 more years my son needs to be at this school. I've tried so hard for them to like us to no avail. They all know about my older kids Sui attempts and all the many times had to call police. PTA pres is my next door neighbor and doesn't speak to me.

I don't want to rant too much. I just have my strong beliefs about this and bullying. And I have to do my part and speak up. Thanking God that my friend isnt his teacher. I feel so bad for her students.

I can't really, but I want to run away move away, wish I lived in another country like Sweden. Everyone knows they have best school model but America still refuses to change.

Anyway in my experience if I tell the school I was having a bad time and that's why he didn't go... They'll just judge him even worse.

I can't sit by silent though. Teachers need to be accountable. His sped teacher last year had a little rage during class, threw some books and scared the kids. I let him know my concern. At first he denied it, but then came back to me and admitted and agreed it was a really bad moment he wasn't proud of and was sorry. He felt bad scaring the kids and would be apologizing to them. This same man used to come to my house to try to teach older son 5 years ago, so he's seen my son rage and my destroyed house. But that's a different teacher. My son might have him again for sped next year, I like that teacher.
