I love that they are moving him to 4th full time and that the school followed your lead on the behavior plan. I love that our son is being acknowledged for his greatness - yes!!!! 90% decrease! Yippee! Grinity Coaching available, at SchoolSuccessSolutions.com

They supposedly differentiate in the classroom, but the teacher's efforts are weak at best. When DS acts out from boredom or frustration, he is punished and punished and punished. Your school sounds much better than ours. We are going through hell.
