"And he has been acting out and getting into trouble. One thing that he gets is a special pull out session on a Thursday, but that was taken away from him tomorrow because he took another kids hat a recess so he could play in the son as he had left his at home. It doesn't seem right to be that his academic extension should be taken away because he is misbehaving.

Also I asked is it possible he is bored in class, and the teacher said he is being given quite different work. And that he gets a lot of special concessions and he is not appreciating them. But he should not have to be grateful for being given an appropriate academic program should he?"

Yikes! I wonder if this was not the teacher for him this year. The teacher might have just had a gut reaction to the word, "bored," which some teachers take personally. However, I agree that your child should not have academic things taken away from them for misbehavior.
