SS7 School issues

I am annoyed with SS7 and his teacher.

First his teacher, until 3 weeks ago she did not tell BM or DH that SS7 has been horrible in class. We found out at the parent teacher conference. We asked for weekly emails the teacher said she doesn't do that. (mentally I am like then how can we support you if you won't talk to us) Well recently it has been worse so BM asked for daily emails. Guess what now we are getting daily emails. Well now SS7 is out of control in class. If his teacher would have talked to us months ago the problem wouldn't be happening.

Second SS7, OMG he is acting like a 3 year old at school. Refusing to sit at his table (he wants to sit under it and poke other kids) not doing his work (turning in blank papers) getting in arguements with other kids, making faces behind the teacher. UGH WTF up until now SS7 has been great in school. He has been in daycare, preschool, or school since he was 4 months old. Also, his excuses to his teacher are awful. He has blamed BS2 waking him (he doesn't), his parents divorce (that happen 7 years ago), and that he is scared someone will break into ours or BMs house (we live in the safest neighborhood in a small safe town BM lives in a not so great area but still things like a car was stolen are sometimes the biggest news story)

BM has been divorced a

BM has been divorced a remarried 5ish years ago and has a 3 year old.

SS7 has been to 2 therapist both say he is fine.

BS2 and him don't share a room or even a wall. There is a bathroom between their rooms. Seriously no idea what the hell is going on with this child.

Only big change is we moved but that was almost a year ago. (we moved 3 miles down the road)

Everyone seems to think (due

Everyone seems to think (due to SS) that this is because of the divorce. When DH said it was 7 years ago everyone looked confused.

Therapist have said he don't

Therapist have said he don't need a psych eval. And BM said only if a therapist says he needs one

2 years ago and then a

2 years ago and then a monthish ago. Everyone keeps saying it is because of a high conflict co-parenting. and that he hasn't seen his parents in the same room in a almost 2 years

What is the school doing to

What is the school doing to correct his behavior? I'm guessing the classroom teacher has some type of reward/punishment system? Does he not have a folder that comes home daily for correspondence between teacher and parent? I thought ALL schools/classrooms did this now? How often is he with you guys?

Quite strange that a kid goes from 0-60 in a matter of weeks without SOMETHING being a catalyst. Since nobody is concerned about pysch issues, has he been tested for possible food allergies or ADHD? To be honest, it sounds like he's just being a brat, and testing his boundaries, what kinds of consequences are you and BM giving at home?

A folder comes home with

A folder comes home with school papers but that is it.

50/50 custody

and we have no idea about at school reward/punishment we asked a recieved no answer.

I think due to the teacher not telling us until now SS7 learned we wouldn't know about his behavior.

our house he loses things and does extra chores. BM "grounds" him (not sure what that means at 7

DH put it on SS7 school paper

DH put it on SS7 school paper work. We are his primary on his school paperwork.

DH and me are CC on teachers emails as off the last 2 weeks

Hmmm I find it odd that kid

Hmmm I find it odd that kid is being that bad in class and teacher never sends one comment home in the daily folder? I wonder if she sent home on a BM week and got no response so gave up? With that being said, when you guys asked about a weekly email and teacher said no thanks, I would have been doing my own weekly or even daily email to the teacher to check behaviors.

I just can't fathom a teacher NOT being happy to have a parent that is willing to work with them on behavioral issues in the classroom at home?? That's every teacher I know, biggest complaint... no support from the home.

Thats what I think.

She said it is a lot of work

She said it is a lot of work to have to email every parent every time a child misbehaves. I think he class is out of control.

We have an it takes her 2 weeksto email us back

Just recent. BS2 had a sleep

Just recent.

BS2 had a sleep study (and surgery to fix sleep issues) since then mecically crazy BM wants SS to have one too. She says he snores loud (he doesn't)

We do an early bedtime thing but I might make it like how you did.

I think he is just really smart and has figured out how to play adults

That is what I am thinking

That is what I am thinking too.

I am think we might need a

I am think we might need a sit down with the principle.

The only problem with that is

The only problem with that is if you think the teacher might not like SS... see how much she likes him AFTER you go to the principal and complain that she is not doing her job? And in my experience, administrators RARELY switch students' teachers. In my opinion I would ask for a conference with the teacher before you go the principal route. To me it seems like a whole lot of miscommunication, emails between 3 or 4 different people.. that a face to face would probably benefit the situtation. If his school hasn't already had parent teacher conference, they should be having one very soon.. it's that time of the year.

We just had one about a month

We just had one about a month ago. That is how we found all this out.

So who was at the conference?

So who was at the conference? Just you and DH? And this is when you asked for weekly emails and teacher declined?

Correct

I would last about 5mins as a

I would last about 5mins as a teacher because I woudn't call parents when their spawn is out of control. I would take direct action and deal with it and the kid in violation of reasonable classroom behavioral standards would not like it one bit.

When mommy or daddy came running in to whine and moan that I was mean to their precious little crotch nugget I would set them straight too.

Grrr! Talk about not my kid not my problem? Incorrigible behavior in my classroom would only be my problem for a second and half before I would drag the ill spawned little shit out into the hallway by their ear, light their ass up, and leave them standing with their nose pressed firmly in the nearest corner for the principal to collect when I called for the trash to be collected. That would be the kid's only chance. If they ever pulled that crap in my classroom again they would be failed for the semester never to darken my classroom door again.

I don't understand modern parenting or modern teaching that not only tolerates this kind of crap from kids.... it creates, supports, and facilitates it.

smh
