Re:In school suspension for 1st grader

[Guest guest]

That is ridiculous. They should instead conduct a functional

behavior assessment to find out WHY he is refusing to do his work. Your

principal is acting like this is the choice of a child with an ED label, not a

child with learning difficulties and a neurobiological disorder. Punishing him

into working will not work…it will just make things worse. As just a

guess, he is probably refusing to work because he needs modifications and

accommodations to his assignments that are not being done and the work is too

hard and overwhelming, so he just shuts down.

If he were mine, I would request an emergency ARD meeting

and refuse to let them punish him in ISS for his disability!

Just my .02 worth,
