I ate one slice of cheese and 4 ritz crackers. Instant headache. Sugar ? I need to get my machine out and figure out how it works. The tv guy should be here soon so if I disappear you know why.

Either the consequences need to be significantly harsher (so they are true consequences) or the teacher needs to start a positive reinforcement program, so the focus is on what he is doing right. Sometimes a youngster like Bubba will respond to having some responsibility in the classroom. (passing out materials, carrying something for the teacher...) If he likes that kind of thing, it could be a reward for good behavior. The trend now seems to be to treat every kid in the classroom exactly the same, which is fine for the 90% that fit the mold. Individualists need individual attention. You can't always get what you want... but you get what you ne-ed... He needs to get what he needs!

DH talked me down. Guess we're waiting because talking to the principal is going over the teachers head.

Yup. Good plan. You want the teacher to work with you. Remember, no huge hurry. He will be in this class for 20% of his earthly existence. It's a long time for him. No parent wants their kid to fail, but sometimes they have to before they get it. Ask Bubba about school so you understand his view, meet with the teacher, and come up with a plan. If a red card means she is shoving the problem back on the parent, that's not going to work when he's at school. Your involvement can be helping her come up with a plan to get Bubba on track. So far the red cards have had no effect on him. Time to try something different.

I don't want to escalate, I just feel like I'm wasting time. I'm mad that DH never called last week. I don't want to meet with the teacher then meet with the principal later... I want everyone on the same page from the word go. DH thinks it will work to pic up bubba and bring him home when he's bad. He wants to be there, so maybe. We'll see.

I think you need to go in the classroom and observe what is going on. It will help with your perspective on the whole situation. Boys are so different than girls..
 
I ask him everyday about school. He usually mentions something fun they did. He doesn't know the names of his classmates (not sure why) but he'll tell me about "a little girl's" backpack, or "a little boy's" lunchbox. Those are his words. He loves to be helpful! Until he doesn't. :lol:
