My son is having problems in the classroom.
My son is having problems in the classroom. He is not listening, playing instead of working and not following directions. His teachers complaining that he always disturb others and play rough. If his friend hit him once for disturbing them he'll hit them back 3 times.
Recently, I receive two major written complaints against him within a week from his school. The 1st one was when he wanted to see his friend's book, his friend took a sharp pencil and poke at his back in return he poke his friend back at his head and the worst part, both were bleeding. The second one was when he drank finish his friend's water. His friend got angry and hide his bag. My son manage to locate his beg with others help but in return he threw his friend beg in a pond. I paid his friend for replacement of books.
He is always getting his name on the board and coming home with notes from the teacher regarding his behavior. Almost everyday the teacher will send him out to the counseling room. He misses his classes.
I would like to know how we can resolve these issues.
Please help....

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
It would help to know how old your son is and what grade he is in. Since I do not have that information I will make a stab in the dark an guess he is in the elementary school grades.
If I am correct, and since I am not a doctor and cannot offer any medical advice, I'm thinking your son is displaying some of the signs of having ADHD. Attention Deficit/Hyper Activity Disorder. This is something that appears in children around the time they are in the elementary school years.
My suggestion is that you have your son tested for this disorder. The school could test him, they most likely will refuse. It is better to have your own doctors test him and then inform the school of the results of the testing.
ADHD can be controlled with medication and in some cases a child may need the help of a child psychologist. For the schools part they will need to offer your son special eduction classes with a teacher trained to work with children with ADHD.
Should your local school not be able to supply such service to your son then the law requires they pay to send you son to a school, public or private, that can supply such services.
Should your son be diagnosed as being ADHD and you get to the point of arguing with the school system over supplying the proper services; I would suggest you engage the services of a good lawyer to assist you.
I have been through this with my own child when he was in school. The school system was very helpful up to the point I asked for the forms for them to pay for the schools they recommended.

you should set up a session with the guidance counselor(SP). they also have childs therapists and anger management people to help out. if hes doing all of this now think of what he could do when hes older. you need to seek professional help with this problem. yes it may cost money but one day it may save a life!
