Didn't they remove him from the classroom if he was that upset? For my kids if they are really upset and acting out I want them removed from the classroom so they can calm down and so their classmates don't see it all. Secondly if they can't calm them down I want to be called. Was Liam able to tell you anything about his day? Do you think it was the ritalin? We've never used meds so I can't offer any insights on that.
I'm glad you're standing your ground with the evals. Hang in there till they are finished. Don't jump the gun on pulling him out. You'd be amazed how things can change for the better when everyone is educated and the child has all of the proper supports they need.
Here's hoping today is much better for Liam++++++

what an awful day! I'm so surprised you didn't get some kind of call. We have in our behavior plan that after an agressive incident DS is to be removed to his safe place, w/ a safe adult near but not in his space. If this continues and he can't go back to the classroom, I am to be called and we will get him home to a very safe place. Keeping a child in that kind of situation only prolongs the agony for him and everyone around him.
We've never done stimulants so I don't know what they would/can do to a child, but it certainly doesn't sound as tho they're working in the environment that they need to work.
I hope today is better! stand your ground, I'm so glad your Dh is ready for the fight as well!
