re: They suspended him and didn't tell me.

It just gets worse and worse.

Apparently he has a little boy at school that he considers his best friend. Well this little boy will always tattle on him, so Jacob apparently occasionally will hit him.

So the mom said that the school can't let them play together anymore. And now I'm just pissed. This is getting ridiculous, they can't teach him coping skills to function at all at school. Causing him not to be social. So not only does he get this from my SIL(not allowed to play with her little boy), he occasionally gets it from my MIL because of my SIL and her little boy, and they won't tell me directly, now he's getting it at school too. And now I'm just pissed.

I'm tired of listening to the BS about how well academically he's doing. How good is being smart if you can't use it in life?

Awe man *sigh* what do They do with him then? They don't work on social skills? Does he get speech therapy to work on pragmatically and stuff? Schools never wanna help children learn skills like that it seems. Lylian has a friend at school that's the same way. She's a little bitch and I'm not exaggerating. Lylian loves her and makes her bracelets and book marks and pictures and all she does it tease Lylian and tell her she can't play and she's not her fried if she does this or that. She's just rude. Then they were getting in trouble together so te schools solution is to separate them all day. Well what did that teach them? I try to talk to her about how to handle things appropriately. Not just separate them. That doesn't solve anything.

As far as I know, Jacob was cussing to him, to see if he'd tattle, and when he would, that's when he would punch him. But your right, instead of teaching him social interaction techniques, they just separate them. It's like what does that solve?

I told his counselor, and he agrees. That what good is academics when all they do is alienate Jacob from everyone else? And so he's going to try and teach him social interaction techniques and we're supposed to relay them to his teacher to use at school. I'm serious.

I seriously hate this school. I moved him out of the Portland Metro Area because I hate Multnomah County, and in yet that's where he received the most and best services.

We thought moving him to a smaller town would benefit him a lot more. And we were so wrong, and now we're stuck here.

They REFUSE to tell me anything. About any after school care programs or anything, other schools ANYTHING.

We have a private school. Which his dad and grandparents might be interested in. But they'd have to have a really good special ed program which most private schools don't accept kids with special needs and behavioral problems. We risk a lot of money just for him to be thrown out.

I just got off the phone with his dad's mom(I know weird, but she's a lot of help), his uncle had OCD and now she's upset, even more so, because this is what they started to do to her son when he was diagnosed with OCD, and it ruined his life forever.

She's saying I need to keep him in swimming lessons now, to get him out. And so yeah. She's not happy. I can't find anything online and it just drives me bonkers. I've called people, and most special ed people I call have no idea what I'm talking about. How can you run a special ed program and not have answers to special ed programs in MY AREA?

We also are 30 minutes outside of town. So that's a long haul back and forth 2x a day. And gas is killer.
