I got home from work yesterday and I had a message on my answering machine from R's school. Apparently he's become quite the problem child. His teacher has been sending home notes every Monday afternoon letting me know how he did the previous week. Well these notes are getting worse and worse. Then last night. OY So I call his teacher back first thing this morning and find out that he is disturbing the class REALLY BAD. The teacher is now spending more time dealing with R than actually teaching, which in turn puts the class behind in their work and where they need to be at. Oh yeah, he's also not turning in his homework. I know he's doing the homework at home because I sit down with him each afternoon and help him. So why is he not turning the work in? It makes no sense to me. Oh yeah so now she's also going to keep him in during recess to have him complete his work.
I don't know what to do with this boy, it's only in his language arts class that he's doing this. I know he's had problems with not talking/paying attention in the past, but it has never been this bad. I feel so bad for his teacher having to deal with this. I'm going to call his Dr. tomorrow and see if I can get him in for another psych appointment soon. I'm wondering if my going back to work (a major life change for him) is having any affect on him.
