The cycle...

I am going to call it the cycle. As since the 1st or 2nd grade I realized that for him, Jan - April were the worst months of the year & it is a cycle for him!

It is happening again - who knows what it will be this time - Last week it was a art teacher who ripped up an assignment of his & told him it wasn't good enough & that anything from there on out - he'd rip up too!! (WHAT?) Then being isolated to a table in the back of the room where he can't see, then made a spectacle of in front of his class. Then to top it off - threatening to call & e-mail me (his mother) to come right then & to deal with him!!

You say & do these things to a child in his situation - what good is going to come from it?

I know so many times in life each & everyone of us act &/or speak without thinking.

I took the appropriate steps to try & resolve this problem... I have a feeling... Hence the feeling of a mother is usually right!! That this teacher isn't changing his behavior...

Grades in 1 week have all plummeted to D's & C's from A's & B's... this won't be able to be reversed... it will only get worse this week. What hope? for school & grades?

He is a raging mess each night. He isn't eating, sleeping, acting normal. He is in another world....

The thoughts & mysteries that we have to look forward to.... This isn't something I'd ever wish on a child, nor a family. I know there are much worse things we could experience... but this is hard!!
