Today was parent teacher conferences. It seems Ryan is being really defiant in class. He isn’t turning in his work. He isn’t turning in his homework. He left 5 jackets at school. He got sent to the principles office today for acting up on the bus. Now if all that sounds bad just wait until I go on.. He colored his entire chair with a magic marker and he was growling in his reading class. He’s showing anger problems and both teachers suggested a councilor.

The up side to all of this is he is smart. Really smart. His reading teacher said he’s doing amazing. So he has the brains, we just have to work on his behavior. Now I know how my Mother felt. That’s exactly how I was in school. I just don’t know what to do. He’s difficult.
