Dakota has been suspended again! Oh, before I get into this...if you read my previous post in which I stated that my son said to a kid in regards to a knife statement. (He'd never would by the way.) The Mother of the boy, who was teasing my son, has filed a report to the police. The Mother thinks this is some race issue or something. Both the principal and I know this is not the case & he is backing Dakota up on this. He says the mother has some issues that don't all stem from my son's incident with him. Still makes me angry.
Okay to the events of today. Yes he has been suspended for 1 1/2 days and has permanently (I think) placed back into the special ed classroom from his regular classroom. Apparently the day started off bad. He apparently didn't bring back his Math homework, but the night before he said he didn't have any tho I did see an unfinished math page but he said he heard them say it wasn't required. So not sure what to think because they also sent home an extra credit page too so he may have gotten confused.
Anyway, I don't know why but he felt because he didn't have it he didn't need to go to his math class...kinda of odd. It was explained he still has to go. He reluctantly went but either this time or sometime after in the hall he ended up hitting a child not in his class due to humming. I think it was more stemming from anger building up earlier but the humming was the last straw for him. So then they tell him that due to this behavior that at recess he will have to stand at the wall. This set off a tantrum. He threw chairs and pushed desks. Then later at lunch he went up and screamed and hit a kid who was in his last years class. Why? I do not know. Dakota is just so darn emotional and when gets angry, seems not to be able to harness his feelings. Instead he seems to lash out. Nothing new really since we've seen this behavior numerous times in the past. But now we are in 3rd grade and next year will be at another school & there they are strict. Mess up 2 times ur outta there as the principal put it.
I'm just beside myself. Dakota on one side is such a loving boy but has so much anger. He was accepted into the local university's therapy individuals sessions so that is good and, I took him straight to his pdoc. We decided to add another med to see if it will control his anger impulses. I'm willing to give it a shot. I am also going to evaluate his diet..I'm not doing that gluten free or whatever diet but will make sure he has more of the proper nutrients...in my hectic life sometimes it isn't possible but I will do my best.
I have such a headache. I'm sad and angry. I feel more upset about this crazy mother filing a police report. I really am not surprised of the transition back to the special ed tho am quite saddened by it. He was doing so well but peer social interaction was his downfall. I feel they were a lot meaner to Dakota than the kids in his special ed class. Through all this his reg teacher never once spoke to me, which I find also disturbing. Her absence when I had to pick up my son is disturbing. Today in the office when picking up my son was the principal and his case manager (now his teacher once again.) He reg teacher was not there nor was she there the last time.
Of course Mom is mean and has grounded him off the computer and playstation for a week and the gameboy for the duration of his suspension. It just sucks and depressing.
Okay, I'll get off the darn soapbox again. I'm just a bomb ready to explode.
