Oh Mary,
I'm so sorry to hear it.
I'm having a meeting also on Friday, in response to last meetings request for grade skip.
Good Luck. Try not to dwell on the meeting, as my experience is that schools run on their own time table.
Advice? Try to figure out how bad it has to be before you "pull" him from that situation - and stand guard, relaxedly if possible.
You can always pull him for a week's vacation and then re-evaluate. It took me three years to pull my kid - little glimmers of hope. There was some value in it, but I wouldn't do it again.
Love and More Love,
Trinity
