I just picked my kids up from school. WeeMan's teacher has been having a hard time with him, and we've been talking to him at home, but it's not working. What she's dealing with is: •He's refusing to take his tests. When he is taking them, he's not even trying to do the work, so he fails his tests. •He tattles on the other kids in the class, lying about what they're doing. Obvious lies. The kids don't want to play with him anymore, which is sad. He was friends with everyone last year. •He's cursing and using potty words to get a reaction from the other kids. •He's pulling his pants down and showing his butt. •He's talking over his teacher when she tries to read to the class. When she lets him read, he changes the story to use potty words. •He refuses to follow instruction when he's in in-school therapy. •When his teacher tries to impose consequences on him, he throws himself on the floor and cries. I hate this. I really want him to go to a regular school. We've gotten so much pressure to send him to a special school. I don't want to have to cave because he can't behave himself.

I'm so sorry. . I have to wonder though if a special school might really be better for him--as in he'll get so much more out of it and the staff will be well equipped to handle the behavior?

Yeah, he's doing a bit better. We ended up grounding him from everything and he gets a five minute lecture whenever we drop him off. That seems to have gotten his attention. We'll see if we can keep it.
I just don't know that sending him to a special school is the right answer. He's high functioning enough that I was hoping that being around kids who display normal social behaviors would cause him to pick up on what they do. The shitty part is that I think he is picking up their behaviors. He's just picking up all the bad stuff and doing it all at once. :/

Poor guy. It's gotta be so overwhelming for him. And frankly I believe it about the picking up the bad stuff. Kids are secretive lil shits. He may not have caught on that they don't always exhibit these behaviors in front of adults. That can take time. Keep trying mama. I honestly think immersion with his therapies will be a big help like you said. If he gets too far out of whack even a short field trip to a specialty school will get his attention ... a high functioning child won't like it there :/
