So, apparently, Ethan's behavior in class is bad in a new and different way! I got an email from his teacher today
"(DS) had a rough day, very disrespectful attitude. He received two numbers and I wrote a note to you. He is acting out more, not the usual behaviors that we have been dealing with, but behaviors like throwing things, slamming his desk, etc. I'm going to go through the regular discipline plan with (DS) and he will receive his numbers, detentions, etc. The other things I have been trying aren't seeming to work. You may want to review the discipline plan with your husband and (DS). I'm hoping the Christmas break will help with his attitude."
Gaaah! I have to give her credit for trying to work with him and not just immediately tossing him onto the disciplinary plan, but DANG IT!
