Ouch, crisc, that sounds bad. Definitely get help. Our situation is more similar to JBDad's, I think, not clearly bad, just no (academic) learning going on. My DS does get his ridiculously simple math homework done quickly - I think the page takes him <30 sec - but I have begun to see some reluctance to try things that he doesn't immediately know.
Yeah, exactly. And he got his first "yellow card" yesterday for a pushing incident. (The have cards that go yellow and red for various infractions.) Now it appears that this was a relatively minor incident, but we completely support the teacher's call and had DS apologize to her today. I am hoping this was a "one very bad day" type of incident. He did have a very, very bad day and was on restriction for the entire day before even catching the bus. Happens to the best of us.
And then there was the last library day where he picked out what I'd describe as a very "angry" book. I forget the title but it was a picture book (early reader book) about bunnies and a hunter and one hunter getting shot at or something. Actually very violent pictures. We didn't want to read too, too much into it, but it was suprising to us. DW said that she thinks he was angry...
