Bullets below are the main issue, the rest is just some background...My almost 6 year old son started a new alternative school I'm September and it is for "kids who can't receive education in public school setting because of their behavioral problems and academic deficiencies. "His old school had issues with keeping him focused and involved. Usually ended up with the whole "fight or flight" scenario where, I think, he would become to overwhelmed and either act out or run away from the classroom. That school didn't have the resources necessary to help him 1 on 1.The new school has been great so far. A lot less acting out and doesn't run away. They said it's normal the forst few weeks and they've had kids 1000x worse.●●The issue now is the first called and said he had a scratch on the back of his neck from bumping a teachers hand but when we talked to him he said another kid was choking him and the teachers nail cut him when breaking it up. It's not the first time he's let us know about things like this at school. He has said older kids there have been picking on him and have even locked him in either a stairwell or outside (told his mom and I different things) and also had told his grandma older kids pushed him up against a dpor.Today though, called and said he needed to be picked up ASAP and couldn't ride the bus home. The reason behind this l, according to them is he was out of control. Swearing up a storm in the office and spitting water everywhere. My wofe picked him up and according to the security guard that brought him out of the school, there were older kids in the office egging him on but the teacher happend to leave that part out too, like the choking incident. Security guard said something along the lines of they couldn't just kick the other kids out of the office though since they had to be in there too. Not sure if there was more to that was lost in translation.I have spent a lot of time with him and I have never heard him swear purposely or go as far as spitting water out of his mouth. He can't stand it if a little bit of a drink spills on his shirt. Only time i have heard him swear was when he was younger and repeating things he heard and if anyone else let's a word slip out, he'll call you out on it and ask you to say sorry.We have a meeting set up tomorrow to speak with the school and the psychiatrist from the old school, who wasn't aware of any of this even though she's suppose to be updated on everything. I'm also wondering where the teachers were during the bullying incidentd. When I was in kindergarten, we we're always being watched.---Just curious if anyone here has any thoughts since I'm completely new to this situation.*edit - forgot to add that the new school is k-12 but he didn't say how much older the kids were. If I had to guess though I'd say between 8-10. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2e6dXbF
